Biological Information

Background Information:

The PrecisION™ hnAChR α7/ric3 Recombinant Stable Cell Line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying nAChR α7/ric3 ion channels, including drug candidates which affect channel function. This cell line enables assessment of ion channel function via detection of electrophysiological signals. The included cell line overexpresses nAChR α7/ric3 ion channels. Upon ligand/agonist induced channel activation, response can be detected via automated or manual electrophysiological techniques.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
