Biological Information
Background Information:
The PrecisION™ hnAChR α4/β2 Recombinant Stable Cell Line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying nAChR α4/β2 ion channels, including drug candidates which affect channel function. This cell line enables assessment of ion channel function via detection of electrophysiological signals. The included cell line overexpresses nAChR α4/β2 ion channels. Upon ligand/agonist induced channel activation, response can be detected via automated or manual electrophysiological techniques.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
