The present disclosure provides high-performance immune-activation reporter
cell line set. A set of
nucleic acid constructs comprising one or more response elements operatively linked to a
TATA box motif
promoter or a minimal IL-2
promoter are provided. A set of reporter
cell lines comprising a
polynucleotide sequence encoding a reporter
protein under the control of one or more response elements operatively linked to a
TATA box motif
promoter or a minimal IL-2 promoter is also provided. The provided set of reporter cells enable sensitive and
signal-enhanced
bioassay performance to reflect and evaluate adaptive
immune cell activation / inhibition regulated by the immune receptors CD3, co-stimulatory CD28 and related signaling pathways, and avoid responding bias triggered by particular
transcription factor. A controllable engineer method for a functional
cell line is further provided.
