Biological Information
Background Information:
The PathHunter® CHO-K1 VIPR2 Bioassay kit provides a robust, highly sensitive, and easy-to-use functional cell based assay to measure drug potency and detect neutralizing antibodies. This bioassay assesses ligand (e.g. VIP) based activation of VIPR2 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. The included cells overexpress ProLink-tagged VIPR2 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin-2. Activation of VIPR2 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin-2 and produces 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.
