Description
iLite® IFN type 1 FAST Assay Ready Cells are human embryonic kidney HEK2931 cells which have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to type 1 interferon, resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. The cells also contain the Renilla Luciferase internal standardization gene under the control of a constitutive promoter that renders assay results independent of cell number and provides a means for correcting for cytotoxic effects that may be encountered with some biological samples
