Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HEK Reporter Assay
Description:  HEK293 reporter cells expressing human TLR7 or human TLR8 were purchased from Invivogen and vendor protocols were followed for cellular propagation and experimentation. Briefly, cells were grown to 80-85% confluence at 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, Zeocin, and Blasticidin. Cells were then seeded in 96-well flat plates at 4×104 cells/well with substrate containing HEK detection medium and immunostimulatory molecules. Activity was measured using a plate reader at 620-655 nm wavelength. The 8-cyclyl-2-aminobenzazepine compounds of Tables 1a and 1b demonstrate the surprising and unexpected property of TLR8 agonist selectivity which may predict useful therapeutic activity to treat cancer and other disorders.
