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 HEK293 cell expressing firefly luciferase gene under the control of NFB response elements with constitutive expression of human TLR8 (Toll-like receptor 8, also known as CD288, a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family (GenBank Accession No. NM_138636). 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
Screen for activators or inhibitors of TLR8 signaling in a cellular context • Characterize the biological activity of TLR8 and its interactions with ligands
Organism
Human
Strain Name
HEK293
Common Name
TLR8
Background
The TLR family plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLR8 is an endosomal receptor that recognizes single stranded RNA (ssRNA), and can recognize ssRNA viruses such as Influenza, HIV and HCV. TLR8 binding to the viral RNA recruits MyD88 and leads to activation of the transcription factor NF-κB and an antiviral response. Human TLR8 is functional but murine TLR8 is non-functional because it lacks five amino acids.

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
