Human TLR3 (NF-κB-SEAP / KI-[IL-8]Lucia) dual-reporter HEK293 cells

HEK-Dual™ hTLR3 (NF/IL8) cells were generated from HEK-Dual™ Null cells by stable transfection of the human TLR3 (hTLR3) gene. Due to the knockout of TLR5, these cells enable the study of hTLR3 signaling without interference from other TLRs.

They respond to very low concentrations of TLR3 agonists such as poly(I:C) a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA. They do not respond to other TLR agonists or to the cytokine TNF-α (see validation sheet).

HEK-Dual™ hTLR3 (NF/IL8) cells are resistant to hygromycin B, Zeocin® and blasticidin. They should be maintained in growth medium supplemented with hygromycin B and Zeocin®.

Detection of the NF-kB response using QUANTI-Blue™. HEK-Dual™ hTLR3 (NF/IL8) and HEK-Blue™ hTLR3 cells were stimulated with various TLR agonists: Poly(I:C) HMW (TLR3 agonist; 100 ng/ml), Poly(I:C) LMW (TLR3 agonist; 100 ng/ml), Poly(A:U) (TLR3 agonist; 100 ng/ml), FLA-ST (flagellin from S. typhimurium, TLR5 agonist; 100 ng/ml), and TNF-α (10 ng/ml). The TLR5 and TNFR activites due to the endogenous expression of these receptors in HEK-Blue™ hTLR3 cells are shown in gray. After 24 hour incubation, NF‐kB-induced SEAP activity was assessed using QUANTI-Blue™ and reading the optical density (OD) at 655 nm.

Detection of the IL-8 response using QUANTI-Luc™. HEK-Dual™ hTLR3 (NF/IL8) cells were stimulated with TLR3 agonists: Poly(I:C) HMW (100 ng/ml), Poly(I:C) LMW (100 ng/ml) and Poly(A:U) (100 ng/ml). After 24 hour incubation, activation of the IL‐8 promoter was determined by measuring the relative light units (RLUs) in a luminometer using QUANTI-Luc™, a Lucia luciferase detection reagent. The activation of the IL‐8 promoter is expressed as fold increase relative to untreated cells which was calculated by dividing the RLUs for the treated cells by the RLUs for the untreated cells.
