| HEK-Blue-hTLR7 assay |
Description: | HEK-Blue-hTLR7 cells were incubated at a density of 250,000450,000 cells/mL in a volume of 180 μL in a 96-well plate in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 4.5 g/L glucose, 50 U/mL penicillin, 50 mg/mL streptomycin, 100 mg/mL Normocin, 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% (V/V) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum for 24 hrs. Then the HEK-Blue-hTLR-7 cells were incubated with addition of 20 μL test compound in a serial dilution in the presence of final DMSO at 1% and perform incubation under 37° C. in a CO2 incubator for 20 hrs. Then 20 μL of the supernatant from each well was incubated with 180 μL Quanti-blue substrate solution at 37° C. for 2 hrs and the absorbance was read at 620655 nm using a spectrophotometer. The signalling pathway that TLR7 activation leads to downstream NF-κB activation has been widely accepted, and therefore similar reporter assay was also widely used for evaluating TLR7 agonist (Tsuneyasu Kaisho and Takashi Tanaka, Trends in Immunology, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2008, Pages 329.sci; Hiroaki Hemmi et al, Nature Immunology 3, 196-200 (2002)). |
