The iLite® FGF21 assay ready cells are a genetically engineered reporter gene cell line responsive to FGF21 by specific and proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase.
For drug development in the field of metabolic disorders, iLite FGF21 Assay Ready Cells perfectly complements iLite Insulin Assay Ready Cells for measurement of potency and immunogenicity.
The assay ready iLite FGF21 cells are based on the human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, and have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to human FGF21 and analogues of human FGF21 by specific and proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. Normalization of cell counts and serum matrix effects is obtained by a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under the control of a constitutive promotor.
