This poster describes a platform of bioluminescent T Cell bioassays for the discovery and development of T Cell-redirecting cancer therapy:

TCRαβ-Deficient Reporter T Cells for Screening and Characterizing Antigen-Specific Therapeutic TCRs

• TCRαβ-deficient reporter T Cells can prevent the recombination of endogenous and transgenic TCRs.
• CD4+ and CD8+ variants enable the screening of therapeutic TCRs designed against MHCI- or MHCII-dependent antigens.

HiBiT-Based T Cell-Dependent Cytotoxicity (TDCC) Assay

• The CD8 TDCC assay applies HiBiT complementation technology and can measure target cell-specific killing in mixed culture.
• Primary CD8 T effector cells are prequalified in TDCC assay and can be used in thaw-and-use format without the need for cell culture.
• The assay is homogenous, sensitive and fast.

Lumit™ Immunoassays for Cytokine Detection

• The assay applies NanoBiT™ complementation technology and uses NanoBiT-labeled antibodies for the cytokine.
• The assay is homogenous, fast and sensitive.
• It shows linear correlation between assay signal and cytokine level.
