IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: Useful for the study of IDO1 enzymology, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.

Background: L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for proteinsynthesis in mammalian cells and the L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established asa key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains animmunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp and releasingdegradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenases (IDO1 & IDO2), two of the rate limiting enzymes in this pathway, are upregulatedin many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.

Contraindications: DMSO >0.5%, strong acids or bases, ionic detergents, high salt

Description: The IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure IDO1 enzyme inhibition. The IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is simple to use. Inhibitor and enzyme are added to a sample containing L-Trp substrate. After a room temperature incubation, activity is determined by measuring the absorption of reaction product at λ=321 nm.

Storage Stability: Stable at least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival.

Supplied As: The kit comes in a convenient format, with enough reaction solution and enzyme to perform a total of 100 reactions.

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
