ImmortaMAITs: immortalized Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells as new human cell line reagents for human immunobiology research

Technology Overview The Immorta-MAITs are human mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. There are ten cell lines which are confirmed to express the MAIT T cell receptor alpha (TRAV1-2) and full TCR sequencing has been performed. The cell lines stain with an MR1-tetramer loaded with a MAIT antigen 5-OP-RU and not control MR1-tetramer loaded with...

C-Terminal Binding Protein (CtBP) single isoform lentiviral stable cell lines

Technology Overview These cell lines re-introduce CtBP wild type and functional mutant isoforms (both CtBP1 and 2) back into a CtBP1+2 null mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) line. These cells contain lentiviral-introduced protein encoding sequences that allow for stable expression of physiologic levels of CtBP isoforms under the tetracycline operon...
