PD-1:PD-L2 Cell-Based Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit

The PD-1/PD-L2 Inhibitor Screening Cell-Based Assay is a bioluminescent cell-based assay that can be used to screen and profile inhibitors of the PD-1:PD-L2 interaction. The assay consists of two main components: * Growth-Arrested PD-1 Effector cells (PD-1/NFAT reporter-Jurkat cells): Reporter Jurkat T cells expressing firefly luciferase gene under the control of NFAT response elements and also constitutively expressing Human PD-1. These cryopreserved cells are provided in a thaw-anduse format that does not require cell propagation. These cells are modified not to be expanded and are intended to be used in a single experiment. * Expression vectors for TCR activator and Human PD-L2: Transfection-ready vectors are used to transfect cells to create the target cells that overexpress PD-L2 and an engineered cell surface T cell receptor (TCR) activator.
