Biological Information
Background Information:	The PathHunter® CXCR2 (IL8RB) cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. CXCL8/IL8) based activation of CXCR2 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged CXCR2 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of CXCR2 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
