Description

The TDO Cellular Activity QuickDetectTM Supplements are designed to complement the hTDO-HEK293 Recombinant Cell Line (BPS Cat. #60534) or other TDO-expressing cell lines. This kit contains the cell culture medium supplements necessary for activation of TDO and for the analysis and detection of tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO)- catalyzed conversion of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) to Kynurenine (Kyn). The supplements and the detection reagents, when used as described, allow for indirect measurement of Kyn levels by analyzing absorption at 480 nm.

COMPONENTS:

Background

L-Trp is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in mammalian cells, and the L-Trp to 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 L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. TDO is upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.

Storage/Stability

Stable for at least 6 months when stored as directed.

Instructions for Use

See datasheet for detailed protocol.

Applications

• Monitor TDO pathway activity • Screen for activators or inhibitors of TDO in a cellular context

Shipping Temperature

dry ice
