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. Recombinant HEK-293 cells expressing firefly luciferase gene under the control of Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) with constitutive expression of human RANK (Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB; TNFRSF11A; ref. seq. NM_003839.2). Which can be used in binding assays and functional assay.

Common Name
RANK & NF-κB Reporter
Background
RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway plays a significant role in osteoclast maturation, which are the major cells in charge of bone resorption. If RANKL binds to the receptor RANK instead of binding to its decoy receptor Osteoprotegerin (OPG), it activates the NF-κB pathway to promote osteoclast survival and proliferation, resulting in the resorption of bone. Therefore, abnormal production of RANKL or OPG can cause osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders, making the RANKL/RANK signaling pathway a valuable target for drug development.

Sterility Testing
Creative Biolabs provides sterility testing in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.
Identity Testing
Identity testing is required for newly established cell lines. Isoenzyme analysis is used to confirm the identity of the species of a cell line. Alternative methods for identity testing include DNA fingerprinting, STR analysis and karyology.
Virological Safety Testing
A broad range of viruses is susceptible to affecting human cell lines. We can provide in vivo/vitro virus safety assays by utilizing various animal systems. These viruses include: adventitious viruses, bovine viruses, human and simian viruses, porcine viruses, retrovirus and rodent viruses.
Genetic Stability Testing
We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
Mycoplasma Testing
The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.
Shipping
Dry Ice
Storage
Immediately upon receipt, store vials in liquid nitrogen.
Handling Notes
Frozen cells should be thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure to ensure cell viability and proper assay performance. Note: Do not freeze the cells upon receipt as it may result in irreversible damage to the cell line. Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee cell viability if the cells are not thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure.
Warnings
Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles
