Qualified Primary Cells: Minimize Variability, Enhance Reliability

Promega primary effector cells provide a consistent and robust method for target cell killing. Our primary cells are biologically relevant and MoA-qualified for either ADCC, ADCP or TDCC activity to measure the potency and stability of antibodies and other biologics that specifically bind and activate their respective effector cells. These primary effector cells are functionally tested with our HiBiT Target Cell Killing Bioassays, where upon lysis of the target cells and addition of detection reagent, specific cell killing of the target cell is measured by a bright, bioluminescent signal.

Human PBMC, ADCC-Qualified:
Eliminate the Uncertainty and Variability of Primary Cell-Based ADCC Assays

Our thaw-and-use ADCC-Qualified PBMCs provide consistency and robustness for measuring antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The PBMCs are available in two product formats: as standalone vials or bioassay kits.

Standalone Human PBMC, ADCC-Qualified Cells

  • Single-donor-derived PBMC lots
  • FcγR-genotyped for FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIa
  • ADCC-qualified with HiBiT target cell lines
  • Thaw-and-use: No culture required
Graphical depiction of representative cellular profiles of ADCC-qualified PBMC donors.

Representative cellular profiles of ADCC-qualified PBMC donors. Our lots of PBMCs reflect the donor-to-donor variability expected in these sample types. This variability is crucial for understanding real-world immune responses when developing therapeutics.


PBMC ADCC Bioassay: PBMCs Paired with a Selection of HiBiT Target Cell Killing Bioassays

The PBMC ADCC Bioassay provides ADCC-qualified PBMC effector cells and a choice of popular target cells expressing a HiBiT fusion protein. The bioassay is simple, homogenous, highly sensitive and provides a robust assay window.

In addition to FcyR genotyping, our bioassay kits are functionally tested using our HiBiT Target Cells to demonstrate ADCC activity. Representative bioassay data using our Raji (HiBiT) Target Cells are shown.

Each PBMC Bioassay kit includes Human PBMCs, ADCC-Qualified; selected Target Cells; RPMI 1640 Media; Fetal Bovine Serum; and Bio-Glo-NB™ TCK Luciferase Assay System.

Human T Cell (CD8+), TDCC-Qualified: Improve Your T Cell Cytotoxicity Assays

Our TDCC-qualified CD8+ T cells provide consistency and robustness for measuring T cell-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The T cells are available in two product formats: as standalone vials or in a bioassay kit.

Standalone Human T Cell (CD8+), TDCC-Qualified Cells

  • Single-donor-derived T cells
  • TDCC-qualified with HiBiT target cell lines

CD8+ TDCC Bioassay: CD8+ T Cells Paired with a Selection of HiBiT Target Cell Killing Bioassays

The CD8+ TDCC Bioassay, using engineered HiBiT target cells, measures the antibody potency and specific target cell killing. The bioassay is simple, homogenous, highly sensitive and provides a robust assay window.

Standalone Human Macrophages, ADCP-Qualified Cells

  • Derived from primary human monocytes
  • Optimized for ADCP activity with HiBiT target cells
  • Large batch sizes for consistent performance
  • High viability (>95%) and flexible phenotype after thaw
  • Loss-of-signal assay correlates with macrophage ADCP mechanism of action
