Simple Bioassay, Consistent Results

4-1BB (CD137/TNFRSF9), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is an inducible co-stimulatory receptor expressed on T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and innate immune cell populations. When present on the cell surface, 4-1BB interacts with 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL) and induces subsequent cell proliferation and production of interferon gamma (IFNγ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2), particularly in T and NK cells.

Current methods used to measure the activity of biologic drugs targeting 4-1BB rely on assays that are laborious and highly variable due to their reliance on donor primary cells, complex assay protocols and unqualified assay reagents and, as a result, are difficult to establish in a quality-controlled, drug-development setting.

The 4-1BB Bioassay is a biologically relevant, MOA-based assay that can be used to measure the potency and stability of ligands or agonist antibodies that can bind and activate 4-1BB.

Control Ab, Anti-4-1BB, is a mouse anti-human 4-1BB agonist antibody. It can be used as a positive control in the 4-1BB Bioassay in the presence of FcγRIIb CHO-K1 Cells (Cat.# JA2251, JA2255).

Assay Components

The thaw-and-use format of the assay (Cat.# JA2351, JA2355) offers convenience and minimizes variability. The assay consists of a genetically engineered Jurkat T cell line that expresses human 4-1BB and a luciferase reporter driven by a response element that can respond to 4-1BB ligand/agonist antibody stimulation. The 4-1BB Effector Cells included are provided as cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, plated and used in an assay without the need for cell propagation.

The assay is also available in CPM format (Cat.# J2332) containing cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, propagated and banked for long-term use.

Workflow

Standardized Reagents Improve Results

  • Thaw-and-use 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.

Assay Principle

4-1BB Bioassay schematic showing assay with FcγRIIb-independent agonist antibody or ligand.

Panel A. Assay with FcγRIIb-dependent agonist antibody. The bioassay consists of two engineered cell lines, 4-1BB Effector Cells and FcγRIIb CHO-K1 Cells. In the presence of FcγRIIb CHO-K1 Cells, the anti-4-1BB antibody can be crosslinked, thereby inducing 4-1BB pathway-activated luminescence. Panel B. Assay with FcγRIIb-independent agonist antibody or ligand. The bioassay consists of one engineered cell line, 4-1BB Effector Cells. In the absence of agonist antibody or 4-1BB ligand, the 4-1BB receptor is not activated and luminescence signal is low. The addition of agonist antibody or 4-1BB ligand induces the 4-1BB pathway-activated luminescence, which can be detected in a dose-dependent manner.

Assay Performance Data

Accuracy and precision are critical to bioassays and the development of biologics. 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 how close results are to 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 the assay to provide measured values that are proportional to the concentration of the sample.

A 50–200% theoretical potency series of Control Ab, Anti-4-1BB, was analyzed in triplicate in three independent experiments performed on three days by two analysts. Bio-Glo™ Reagent was added and luminescence quantified using the GloMax® Discover Detection System. Data were analyzed and relative potencies calculated after parallelism determination using JMP® software. Data were generated using thaw-and-use cells.

The 4-1BB Bioassay reflects mechanism of action and shows specificity of biologics designed to activate 4-1BB. Panel A. 4-1BB Effector Cells were induced with a serial titration of ligands: GITRL, 4-1BBL and OX40L as indicated. Panel B. 4-1BB Effector Cells were induced with a serial titration of Control Ab, Anti-GITR (Cat.# K1171), Control Ab, Anti-4-1BB (Cat.# K1161), and Control Ab, Anti-OX40 (Cat.# K1191), as indicated, in the presence of FcγRIIb CHO-K1 Cells (Cat.# JA2251, JA2255). For both panels, Bio-Glo™ Reagent was added, and luminescence was quantified using the GloMax® Discover System.

  • 4-1BB Bioassay is available in 1X and 5X sizes.
  • 4-1BB Bioassay is also available in CPM format (Cat.# J2332).
  • Control Ab, Anti-4-1BB (Cat.# K1161), is available separately.
  • FcγRllb CHO-K1 Cells (Cat.# JA2251, JA2255) are available separately.
