Simple Bioassay, Consistent Results

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is secreted by a variety of cell types including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic and epithelial cells. IL-15 promotes activation and expansion of natural killer (NK), natural killer T (NKT) and CD8+ memory T cells. Unlike IL-2, IL-15 doesn’t impact CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg) or induce activation-induced cell death (AICD).

Multiple pathways can be activated by IL-15 signaling. In lymphocytes, JAK/STAT signaling begins with JAK1 and JAK3 tyrosine kinase recruitment and activation at the receptor cytoplasmic domains. These kinases recruit and activate STAT3 and 5 with phosphorylated dimer/tetramer translocation to the nucleus for transcriptional activation of a variety of proteins. These pathways impact cell proliferation, anti-apoptotic survival and cytotoxic effector functions.

The IL-15 Bioassay is a bioluminescent cell-based assay designed to measure IL-15 stimulation or inhibition. The IL-15 Bioassay Cells have been engineered to express luc2 in response to IL-15 signaling. When IL-15 binds to IL-15 Bioassay Cells, the receptor transduces intracellular signals resulting in luminescence. The bioluminescent signal is detected and quantified using Bio-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System (Cat.# G7940) and a standard luminometer such as the GloMax® Discover System (Cat.# GM3000).

Assay Components

The IL-15 Bioassay Cells included are provided in a thaw-and-use format as cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, plated and used in an assay without the need for cell propagation.

The IL-15 Bioassay is also available in a Cell Propagation Model (CPM) format, as cryopreserved cells, that can be thawed, propagated and banked for long-term use (Cat.# J2962).

The Workflow

Traditional Method

Standard bioassay workflow with cultured cells

'Cells as reagents' Method

Improved bioassay workflow with thaw-and-use cells

Standardized Reagents Improve Results

  • Thaw-and-use cell format provides significant time and labor savings over traditional methods while reducing variability.
  • Kit includes all of the required reagents in standardized formats.
  • Easily amenable to high-throughput workflows.

The Assay Principle

 
15448ma
Representation of the IL-15 Bioassay. The IL-15 Bioassay consists of a genetically engineered cell line, IL-15 Bioassay Cells. When IL-15 binds to its receptor, receptor-mediated signaling induces luminescence that can be detected by adding Bio-Glo™ Reagent and quantitated with  a luminometer. In the absence of IL-15, no signaling occurs downstream of IL-15R and a luminescent signal is not generated.

Assay Performance Data

Accuracy and Precision are critical to bioassays and the development of biologics. The IL-15 Bioassay is both accurate and precise. Accuracy is a measure of how close results are to a target or reference value. Precision is a measure of repeatability. This assay was developed and prequalified according to ICH guidelines for accuracy and precision, giving it the performance characteristics required for many applications of a bioassay used for antibody drug discovery research and development.

Accuracy: Measure of ability to replicate a reference or "target" value.

IntraLab Precision: Measure of repeatability from multiple assays of the same homogeneous sample under the same operating conditions over a short time (same analyst; same lab; same day).

Intermediate Precision: Measure of repeatability of multiple assays of the same homogeneous sample with different analysts or equipment or on different days.

Linearity: Ability of your assay to provide measured values that are proportional to the concentration of the sample.

A 50–200% theoretical potency series of recombinant human IL-15 was analyzed in triplicate in three independent experiments performed on three days by two analysts (for a total of six independent experiments). Bio-Glo™ Reagent was added and luminescence quantified using the GloMax® Discover System. Data were analyzed and relative potencies calculated after parallelism determination using JMP® software. Data were generated using thaw-and-use cells.
