PathHunter® eXpress mCXCR2 CHO-K1 β-Arrestin GPCR Assay

Background Information:

The PathHunter® mCXCR2 (IL8RB) eXpress kit provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to study drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This kit assesses ligand (e.g. CXCL8/IL-8) based activation of mCXCR2 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The cells included overexpress PK-tagged mCXCR2 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin-2. Activation of mCXCR2 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin-2 and produces EFC signal. eXpress 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, detection reagent, and assay plates. Please note that this product expresses the Mouse version of this protein.
