The STAT5 Luciferase Reporter cell line is a stably transfected Ba/F3 cell line which expresses Renilla luciferase reporter gene under the transcriptional control of the STAT5 responsive promoter, so that the cell line is designed to measure the transcriptional activity of STAT5. As a transcription factor, Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5 (STAT5) is activated through phosphorylation at tyrosine 694 in response to many cytokines and growth factors including IL-2, IL-3, GM-CSF and prolactin. Aberrant STAT5 activity is closely related to a wide range of human cancers as STAT5 is often found to be constitutively phosphorylated in cancer cells. The phosphorylated STAT5 forms homodimers or heterodimers with other STATs, and the dimers translocate to nucleus in which DNA binding/promoter induction occurs. The STAT5 induction by IL-3 is shown in Figure 1.
