ISG Reporter THP-1 Cells

IRF-SEAP reporter monocytes

ABOUT

Interferon regulatory factor-inducible SEAP Reporter Monocytes

THP1-Blue™ ISG cells were specifically designed for monitoring the interferon signaling pathway in a physiologically relevant cell line. They were derived from the human THP-1 monocyte cell line by stable integration of an interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-inducible SEAP reporter construct. 

As a result, THP1-Blue™ ISG cells allow the monitoring of IRF activation by determining the activity of SEAP. The levels of IRF-induced SEAP in the cell culture supernatant are readily assessed with QUANTI-Blue™, a SEAP detection reagent. 

THP1-Blue™ ISG cells are highly responsive to PRR agonists that trigger the IFN signaling pathway, such as LPS and transfected double-stranded nucleic acid.
