Supplied As
The kit contains a transfection-ready expression vector for full length human IDO1 (hIDO1). Upon expression, hIDO1 catalyzes L-Trp conversion to Kyn, which gets released and is detected in the assay medium. The kit also includes specialized assay medium.

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