Recombinant Jurkat T cell expressing a firefly luciferase gene under the control of NFAT response elements with constitutive expression of human FcgammaRIIa, Histidine variant.
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened using the PCR-based VenorGeM Mycoplasma Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. #MP0025) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Background
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) is one of the important mechanisms of action for antibody drug development. FcgammaRIIa is the predominant Fcgamma receptor involved in the ADCP process. FcgammaRIIa is expressed in myeloid effector cells, including macrophages and neutrophils, where it plays a role in the activation of these effector cells. Several clinical studies have studied the correlation of a FcgammaRIIa polymorphism (R131H) and the response to IgG1 subclass monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as rituximab. Engineered amino-acid substitutions in Fc-mAbs have been developed to enhance the mAb-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages.
Application
Characterize the Fc effector function of antibodies.
Host Cell
Jurkat
Shipping Temperature
-80°C (dry ice)
