Key benefits of iLite® Assays
- Highly specific reporter gene cell lines
- Very sensitive cell line responses (>10 fold inductions)
- Assay Ready Cells – ready-to-use from the freezer, without culturing of cells
- Assays within a workday (typically 4-7 hour assays)
- Normalization gene, which eliminates unwanted matrix effects
Background
Human fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a member of a family of the atypical fibroblast growth factors that include FGF19 and FGF23 in man. FGF21 lacks the heparin-binding domain of conventional FGFs and can consequently diffuse throughout the body and function as a hormone. FGF21 stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes and the effects on glucose uptake is additive with insulin (1). The iLite® FGF21 ARCs are a genetically engineered reporter gene cell line responsive to FGF21 by specific and proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. The receptor chain FGFR1c is overexpressed on the surface together with the co-factor β-Klotho which has been genetically optimized to enhance sensitivity. Normalization of cell counts and serum matrix effects is obtained by a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under the control of a constitutive promotor.

New Product Introduction
EagleBio的5α-雄甾烷-3α，17β-二醇葡糖醛酸化物是C19类固醇，缩写为3α-DiolG，5α二醇G或简称为α二醇G。它主要作为睾丸激素和二氢睾丸激素（DHT）的代谢产物生产。它主要在目标外围组织（例如皮肤）中产生，尤其是在毛囊周围。大量的3α-DiolG刺激会导致过多的头发形成，特别是在女性通常不存在头发的地方。近年来，在研究患有特发性多毛症的妇女的临床研究人员中，人们对这种类固醇的测量越来越感兴趣。已知是3α-DiolG前体的类固醇包括脱氢表雄酮（DHEA），硫酸脱氢表雄酮（DHEAS），二氢睾丸酮（DHT），雄烯二酮和睾丸激素。已显示只有3α-DiolG随多毛症增加而随治疗减少。这种相关性在多囊卵巢综合征（PCO）患者中也得到了证明。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。
