The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in developmental and psychological processes and implicated in the pathogenesis of prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and altered pubertal development. The AIZ-AR Stable 22Rv1 Luciferase Reporter Cell Line contains a reporter plasmid with three copies of the androgen response region with a downstream androgen response element which allows for the detection of AR ligands through the induction of luciferase activity as early as 8 hours after treatment. The reporter plasmid p3ARR/ARE-luc2P/minP/hygro was successfully transfected into the 22Rv1 cells using the Fugene HD transfection reagent. These immortalized cells are functional for over 25 passages after cryopreservation making them a reproducible and sensitive tool for the detection of AR ligands during research investigating novel pharmaceutical drugs or screening for environmental pollutants that may disrupt endocrine function through AR interaction.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.
