Parental NF-κB inducible SEAP cell line
HEK-Blue™ Null1-v cells derive from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. HEK-Blue™ Null1-v cells express a secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene under the control of the IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1 binding sites. Stimulation of HEK-Blue™ Null1-v cells with NF-κB and/or AP-1 activators induces the production of SEAP. These cells express endogenous levels of TLR3, TLR5, NOD1, ALPK1, and TIFA.
The HEK-Blue™ Null1-v cell line is the parental cell line of:
- HEK-Blue™ mTLR4 cells
- HEK‑Blue™ mTLR5 cells
- HEK-Blue™ mTLR8 cells
- HEK-Blue™ mTLR13 cells
- HEK-Blue™ KO-ALPK1 cells
- HEK-Blue™ KO-TIFA cells
Levels of SEAP produced by HEK-Blue™ Null1-v cells can be easily determined using either:
- HEK‑Blue™ Detection: A cell culture medium that contains all the required nutrients for cell growth, as well as a specific SEAP color substrate that allows for real-time detection of SEAP activity.
- QUANTI-Blue™ Solution: A SEAP detection and quantification reagent that allows the same cell culture to be repeatedly sampled for kinetic studies or further experimentation.
In both detection methods, the hydrolysis of the substrate by SEAP produces a purple/blue color that can be easily detected with the naked eye or quantitatively measured with a spectrophotometer (OD 620-655 nm). Both methods are applicable to high-throughput screening (HTS).
