[0648] Reporter Gene Expression Assay in THP-1 Cells
[0649] THP1-Dual™ cells (Invivogen) were derived from the human THP-1 monocyte cell line by stable integration of two inducible reporter constructs. As a result, THP1-Dual™ cells allow the simultaneous study of the IRF pathway, by assessing the activity of a secreted luciferase (Lucia) and the NF-κB pathway, by monitoring the activity of secreted SEAP. 5×10.sup.4 THP1-Dual™ cells were seeded in 384-well plates in growth medium and preincubated with novel compounds for 10 minutes followed by stimulation with 5 μM 2′,3′-cGAMP. After 20 hr of stimulation the supernatant was removed and the IRF pathway reporter protein was readily measured in the cell culture supernatant using QUANTI-Luc™ (Invivogen), a luciferase detection reagent on a Spectramax i3X luminometer.
