Description
Creative Biolabs has developed several immune checkpoint stable cell Lines expressing the most popular immune checkpoints to accelerate clients' immunotherapy discovery and clinical translation. This cell line expresses a surface human GITR (glucocorticoid-induced TNFR family related gene; TNFRSF18; CD357) and an NF-κB luciferase reporter construct that are stably integrated into the genome of Jurkat T-cells. The firefly luciferase gene is controlled by 4 copies of NF-kB response element located upstream of the TATA promoter. Following activation by stimulants, endogenous NF-κB transcription factors bind to the DNA response elements to induce transcription of the luciferase gene. Which can be used in binding assays and functional assay.
Features
Stable cell lines for increased reliability and reproducibility;
Protein expression at the cell surface validated by FACS or WB;
Applications
The GITR NF-κB-luciferase/Jurkat cell line is suitable for monitoring the activity of NF-kB signaling in response to GITR ligand (GITRL).
Organism
Human
Strain Name
Jurkat
Common Name
GITR & NF-κB Luciferase Reporter
Background
Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR) is a member of the TNFR superfamily, expressed in a number of cells including T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC). GITRL, GITR's natural ligand, is expressed mainly by APCs and GITR:GITRL interaction is important for activation of the immune system. Agonistic antibodies targeting GITR are actively being pursued as potential immuno-oncology therapies.
