PathHunter® IGF-1 Bioassay Kit

Background Information:

The PathHunter® IGF1R Bioassay Kit (HEK 293) provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to measure drug potency and detect neutralizing antibodies. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. IGF1, IGF2, agonist antibody) based activation of IGF1R receptors via detection of SH2 domain protein recruitment. The included cells overexpress ProLink-tagged IGF1R target protein and EA-tagged SH2 domain protein. Upon activation of the receptor by its ligand or an agonist antibody, recruitment of SH2 domain protein to the phosphorylated receptor tail leads to production of EFC signal. Bioassay kits are a convenient, ready-to-use format which contains all materials needed to run the assay, including single-use vials of cryopreserved cells, cell plating media, control agonist, detection reagent, and assay plates.
