Thermo Scientific™ GeneBLAzer™ ER Beta DA Assay Kit
Description
GeneBLAzer™UAS-bla GripTite™ 293 cells stably express a beta-lactamase reporter gene under the transcriptional control of an upstream activator sequence (UAS). When an agonist binds to the LBD of the GAL4 (DBD)-ER beta (LBD) fusion protein, the protein binds to the UAS, resulting in expression of beta-lactamase. Division Arrested (DA) cells are available in two configurations- an Assay Kit (which includes cells and sufficient substrate to analyze 1 x 384-well plate), and a tube of cells sufficient to analyze 10 x 384-well plates. DA cells are irreversibly division arrested using a low-dose treatment of Mitomycin-C, and have no apparent toxicity or change in cellular signal transduction. Both ER beta DA cells and ER beta-UAS-bla GripTite™ 293 cells are functionally validated for Z' and EC50 concentrations of 17-beta Estradiol. In addition, ER beta-UAS-bla GripTite™ 293 cells have been tested for assay performance under variable conditions, including DMSO concentration, cell number, stimulation time, and substrate loading time. Additional testing data using alternate stimuli are also available.
