产品介绍
NF-_x0001_B luciferase reporter construct is stably integrated into the genome of HCT-116 cells. The firefly luciferase gene is controlled by 4 copies of NF-κB response element located upstream of the TATA promoter. Following activation by stimulants, endogenous NF-κB transcription factors bind to the DNA response elements to induce transcription of the luciferase gene.
The NF-κB-luciferase/HCT-116 cell line is suitable for monitoring the activity of NF-κB signaling in response to stimulants such as the cytokines TNF and IL-1β, pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) (i.e. flagellin) or endogenous damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules (i.e. NOD1 ligand) (see application references). It is also suitable for establishing cell-based screens for inhibitors that target specific NF-κB stimulating molecules. This cell line can be further modified to allow investigation of downstream NF-κB activities as a result of targeted genetic mutation(s).
