TLr3 activation with <strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) <strong>Fluorescein</strong><br />

<strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) <strong>Fluorescein</strong>-induced TLR3 activation can be monitored using<br />

TLR3 reporter cell lines, such as HEK-Blue hTLR3 cells.<br />

HEK-Blue -hTLR3 cells are designed for studying the stimulation of hTLR3<br />

by monitoring the activation of NF-kB. These cells were transfected with the<br />

human TLR3 gene and an NF-kB/AP-1-inducible SEAP (secreted alkaline<br />

phosphatase) reporter gene. Levels of SEAP can be easily determined with<br />

QUANTI-Blue (a detection medium that turns purple/blue in the presence of<br />

alkaline phosphatase). Alternatively, HEK-Blue Detection, a cell culture<br />

medium that allows for real-time detection of SEAP can be used. A typical<br />

stimulation curve obtained with QUANTI-Blue is given in figure 2.<br />

- Prepare a HEK-Blue hTLR3 cell suspension (250,000 cells/ml) in<br />

DMEM, 4.5 g/l glucose, 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (30<br />

min at 56ºC), 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 mg/ml streptomycin, 100 mg/ml<br />

Normocin , 2 mM L-glutamine.<br />

- In a 96-well plate, add 180 µl of the HEK-Blue hTLR3 cell suspension<br />

per well.<br />

- Stimulate cells with 10 ng -10 μg/ml <strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) <strong>Fluorescein</strong> for 6 to 24 h.<br />

- Determine <strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) <strong>Fluorescein</strong> stimulation on TLR3 by assessing<br />

reporter gene expression using QUANTI-Blue or HEK-Blue detection<br />

(see related products).<br />

Figure 2. HEK-Blue hTLR3 cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of<br />

<strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) and <strong>Poly</strong>(I:C) <strong>Fluorescein</strong> (50,000 cells/well of a 96-well plate). After<br />

an 18h incubation, NF-kB-induced SEAP activity was assessed using QUANTI-Blue .<br />
