An In Vitro Test to Screen Skin Sensitizers Using a Stable THP-1–Derived IL-8 Reporter Cell Line, THP-G8
13 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Several studies have suggested that interleukin (IL)-8 can serve as a biomarker for discrimination of skin sensitizers from nonsensitizers. We established a stable THP-1-derived IL-8 reporter cell line, THP-G8, which harbors SLO and SLR luciferase genes under the control of IL-8 and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoters, respectively. After 6 h treatment with chemicals, normalized SLO luciferase...
