INDIGO’s Dog Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha (dPPARα) Reporter Assay System utilizes proprietary mammalian cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of Dog PPARα (nr1c1), a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Because these cells incorporate a responsive luciferase reporter gene, quantifying expressed luciferase activity provides a sensitive surrogate measure of dPPARα activity in treated cells. The primary application of this reporter assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against dog PPARα. dPPARα Reporter Cells are prepared using INDIGO’s proprietary CryoMite™ process. This cryo-preservation method yields high cell viability post-thaw, and provides the convenience of immediately dispensing healthy, division-competent reporter cells into assay plates. There is no need for intermediate spin-and-wash steps, viability determinations, or cell titer adjustments.[INDIGO Catalog Nos.
