| | Human TLR8 Assay |
| Description: | TLR8/NF-kB/SEAPorter HEK 293 Cell Line (Imgenex Corporation) is a stably co-transfected cell line which expresses full-length human TLR8 and the secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene under the transcriptional control of an NF-κB response element. TLR8 expression in this cell line has been tested by flow cytometry. Transfectants with stable expression were selected using the antibiotic blasticidin and geneticin. TLR signaling leads to the translocation of NF-κB and activation of the promoter results in expression of the SEAP gene. TLR8-specific activation was assessed by determining the level of SEAP produced following overnight incubation of the cells at 37° C. with the standard compound in the presence of 0.1% (v/v) dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Concentration dependent induction of SEAP production by compounds was expressed as the concentration of compound which produced half of the maximal level of SEAP induction for that compound (EC50). |
