Recombinant HEK293 cell expressing firefly luciferase gene under the control of NF-kappaB response elements with constitutive expression of human OX40 (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 4, TNFRSF4, and CD134, GenBank Accession No. NM_003327)
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened using the PCR-based VenorGeM Mycoplasma Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Background
Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR) is a member of the TNFR superfamily, expressed in a number of cells including T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC). GITRL, GITR's natural ligand, is expressed mainly by APCs and GITR:GITRL interaction is important for activation of the immune system. Agonistic antibodies targeting GITR are actively being pursued as potential immuno-oncology therapies.
Application
Screen for activators or inhibitors of OX40 signaling in a cellular context and characterize the biological activity of OX40 and its interactions with ligands
Host Cell
HEK293
Species
Human
Shipping Temperature
-80°C (dry ice)
