The CellSensor® IL-1-bla ECV304 cell line is an adherent human urinary bladder cell line used to measure the (IL-1) signaling pathway via transcriptional regulation of the beta-lactamase gene. IL-1 cytokine cell signaling is a critical pathway involved in immune and inflammatory responses. This cell line was constructed using GenomeScreen™ technology utilizing a promoterless beta-lactamase reporter gene randomly integrated into the genome of the IL-1-bla ECV304 cell line. Sequential rounds of sorting were performed to isolate cell clones containing tagged genes induced by IL-1. A dose response assay was run with this cell line using IL-1 as the agonist.
