Ready-to-Assay CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor Frozen Cells

Background Information:

The Ready-to-Assay CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor Frozen Cells are a simple, thaw-and-assay cell format for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This assay assesses ligand (e.g. CXCL12/SDF-1α) based activation of CXCR4 GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cells overexpress CXCR4 alongside endogenous high levels of a promiscuous G-protein, coupling the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Upon activation of CXCR4 , the resulting calcium activity can be fluorescently assayed. Ready-to-assay kits consist of two vials of the stably modified clonal cell line in a convenient thaw-and-use format.
