4-1BB Bioassay

The 4-1BB Bioassay (Cat.# JA2351, JA2355), is a bioluminescent cell-based assay that overcomes the limitations of existing assays and can be used to measure the potency and stability of ligands or agonist antibodies that can bind and activate 4-1BB (6,7). The assay consists of a genetically engineered Jurkat T cell line that expresses human 4-1BB and a luciferase reporter driven by a response element that can respond to 4-1BB ligand/agonist antibody stimulation. The 4-1BB Effector Cells are provided in thaw-and-use format as cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, plated and used in an assay without the need for cell culture and propagation.
