PharmaOnco™ Jurkat-TCR KO-NFAT Luc Reporter Cell Line, Single Clone
CAT#: ITS-0822-HMM208
Product Type: Knockout Cell Line
Short Description
Creative Biolabs offers Jurkat-TCR KO-NFAT Luc reporter cell line which the TCR gene was knocked out in NFAT Luc reporter Jurkat cells.
Description
Jurkat-TCR KO-NFAT Luc reporter cell line is a cell line derived from Jurkat cells that have been genetically modified to lack a functional T-cell receptor (TCR) pathway. These cells also contain a luciferase reporter gene driven by the NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) transcription factor, allowing for easy monitoring of NFAT activity in response to stimuli. This cell line is commonly used in research to study TCR signaling and NFAT activation, as well as for screening potential drug candidates that target these pathways. The lack of functional TCR signaling in these cells allows for more specific and controlled studies of NFAT signaling without interference from other TCR-dependent pathways.

Background
The TCR gene, or T-cell receptor gene, is a gene responsible for encoding the protein receptors on the surface of T cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a central role in the immune system, recognizing and responding to foreign antigens such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells. There are two main types of TCR genes, alpha and beta, which combine to form the T-cell receptor complex. These receptors are highly diverse and can recognize a wide variety of antigens, allowing T cells to mount specific immune responses to different threats. Mutations or dysregulation of the TCR gene can lead to immune system dysfunction, resulting in conditions such as autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency disorders, and cancer. Studying the TCR gene and its role in immune function is important for understanding and developing treatments for these conditions.

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
Frozen cells should be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank (-150°C~-190°C). After thawing, cells should be immediately transferred to the appropriate culture medium and maintained under recommended culture conditions.
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
Research Use Only
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Quality Control
All of our stable cell lines meet the highest quality standards and have been confirmed to be pathogen-free.
