Applications: Monitor TGF-β signaling pathway activity.
Description: PAI-1 Reporter (Luc)-Mv1 Lu cell line is designed for monitoring transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-induced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a potent regulator of cellular differentiation, proliferation, migration, and protein expression.PAI-1 Reporter (Luc) -Mv1 Lu cell line contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of PAI-1 responsive elements stably integrated into Mv1 Lu (NBL-7) cells, showing TGF-β pathway response. This cell line is validated for the TGF-β response to the induction of PAI-1 gene expression through luciferase activity.
Host Cell Line: Mv1 Lu
Mycoplasma Testing: The cell line has been screened using the PCR-based Venor™GeM Mycoplasma Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich, #MP0025) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Storage Stability: Store in liquid nitrogen immediately upon receipt.
Supplied As: Each vial contains ~ 2 x 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: BSL-1
