Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® OSMRb/IL31R Dimerization Bioassay kit provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to measure drug potency and detect neutralizing antibodies. This bioassay assesses ligand (e.g. IL-31) induced dimerization of OSMRb/IL31R receptors. This product uses EFC technology. The cell line included overexpresses OSMRb target protein fused to PK alongside IL31RA target protein fused to EA. Upon ligand-induced dimerization of OSMRb/IL31R, detectable EFC signal is produced. Bioassay kits are a convenient, ready-to-use format which contains all materials needed to run the assay, including single-use vials of cryopreserved cells, cell plating media, control agonist, detection reagent, and assay plates.
