Recombinant CHO-K1 cell constitutively expressing full length human GITRL (NP_005083.2). Surface expression is confirmed by flow cytometry.
Mycoplasma testing: This cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, Cat. # LT07-118) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma contamination. MycoAlert Assay Control Set (Lonza, Cat. # LT07-518) was used as a positive control.
Host Species: hamster
Background
GITRL (CD357; AITRL; TNLG2A), a part of the tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 18 (TNFSF18), is mainly expressed on antigen presenting cells. GITRL engages with the GITR receptor as a co-stimulatory signal to promote lymphocyte activation.
Application
This cell line is useful for stimulating human GITR on immune cells, as well as binding assays for GITR.
Host Cell
CHO-K1
Shipping Temperature
-80°C (dry ice)
