NF-κB and ISG Dual Reporter THP-1 Cells - THP1-Dual™ Cells

NF-κB-SEAP and IRF-Lucia reporter monocytes

ABOUT

NF-κB–SEAP and IRF–Lucia reporter human monocytes

THP1-Dual™ cells were derived from the human THP-1 monocyte cell line by stable integration of two inducible reporter constructs.

As a result, THP1-Dual™ cells allow the simultaneous study of the NF-κB pathway, by monitoring the activity of SEAP, and the IRF pathway, by assessing the activity of a secreted luciferase, Lucia luciferase.

Both reporter proteins are readily measurable in the cell culture supernatant when using QUANTI-Blue™ Solution, a SEAP detection reagent, and QUANTI-Luc™ 4 Lucia/Gaussia, a Lucia and Gaussia luciferase detection reagent.

THP1-Dual™ cells induce the activation of NF-κB in response to certain TLR agonists, such as Pam3CSK4 and flagellin. They trigger the IRF pathway upon stimulation with type I IFNs and RLR or CDS agonists, such as transfected dsRNA.

THP1-Dual™ cells are resistant to the selectable markers Zeocin® and blasticidin.

Description

THP1-Dual™ cells feature the Lucia gene, a secreted luciferase reporter gene, under the control of an ISG54 minimal promoter in conjunction with five IFN-stimulated response elements.

 THP1-Dual™ cells also express a secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene driven by an IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five copies of the NF-κB consensus transcriptional response element and three copies of the c-Rel binding site. 

As a result, THP1-Dual™ cells allow the simultaneous study of the NF-κB pathway, by monitoring the activity of SEAP, and the IRF pathway, by assessing the activity of Lucia luciferase.
