Mouse TLR2 Reporter HEK293 Cells (NF-κB)

NF-κB–SEAP reporter HEK293 cells expressing mouse TLR2

HEK-Blue™-mTLR2 cells were obtained by co-transfection of the murine TLR2 and SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter genes into HEK293 cells.

The SEAP reporter gene is placed under the control of the IL-12 p40 minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1-binding sites.

Additionally, the CD14 co-receptor gene was transfected into these cells to enhance the TLR2 response. Stimulation with a TLR2 ligand activates NF-κB and AP-1 which induces the production of SEAP.

Levels of SEAP can be easily determined with HEK-Blue™ Detection, a cell culture medium that allows for real-time detection of SEAP.

The parental cell line of HEK-Blue™ mTLR2 cells is HEK-Blue™ Null2 cells.
