Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® IL18R1/IL18RAP Dimerization cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting receptor-receptor interaction. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. IL-18) induced dimerization of IL18R1/IL18RAP receptors. This product uses EFC technology. The cell line included overexpresses IL18R1 target protein fused to PK alongside IL18RAP target protein fused to EA. Upon ligand-induced dimerization of IL18R1/IL18RAP , detectable EFC signal is produced.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
