| Description | Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are useful as therapeutic agents to promote the regeneration of bone at the site of trauma following bone fracture, spinal injury or surgery but are limited due to systemic-wide side effects, the necessity of specialized delivery systems, and the short half lives of the compounds in vivo. The BMP Responsive Immortalized Reporter (BRITER) Cell Line was generated in order to conduct high-thoroughput chemical and molecular genetic screening to identify a novel small molecule alternative activator of BMP signaling. The cells are immortalized tamoxifen inducible Bmp2; Bmp4 double conditional knockout murine calvarial osteoblast cells expressing a BMP Response Element(BRE)-dependent Firefly Luciferase (FFLuc) gene and an SV40 promoter/enhancer-dependent Renilla Luciferase (RRLuc) gene. FFLuc activity increases in response to BMP signaling activity while the RRLuc gene acts as an internal control to limit the number of false-positives resulting from non-specific activation of cellular processes, such as cell proliferation. In addition the sensitivity to exogenous BMP signaling can be intensified through the addition of 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which reduces the level of endogenous BMP signaling through the knockout of the Bmp2 and Bmp4 genes resulting in a specific and highly efficient reporter of BRE activation. |

2. Sale of this item is subjected to the completion of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) by the purchasing individual/institution for each order. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at [email protected].
3. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 μg, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 μg, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final.
4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping).
