Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® CCR5 cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. CCL3/MIP-1α) based activation of CCR5 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged CCR5 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of CCR5 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
