Overview

Type I interferons, interferon alpha (IFN-α) and interferon beta (IFN-β), play essential roles in the innate immune response to viral infections. IFN-β is produced by fibroblasts, macrophages, and dendritic cells, as well as endothelial cells. The expression of the IFN-β gene is controlled by transcription factors like IRF-3, c-Jun/ATF-2, and NF-kappaB downstream of Pattern Recognition Receptors, for example Toll-like receptors. In particular, IFN-β is the primary functional readout of cGas-cGAMP-STING pathway activation. Once secreted, IFN-β binds and activates the IFNAR1/IFNAR2 receptor complex, which relies on STAT1/2 transcription factors. Phosphorylated STAT1/2 leads to the induction of anti-viral gene expression.

Benefits

  • SCALABLE FROM 96 TO 1536 WELLS
  • PANEL QUANTIFICATION

Assay principle

​Cell supernatant, sample, or standard is dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection by HTRF® reagents (384-well low-volume white plate or Cisbio low-volume 96-well plate in 20 µL). The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor are pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. The assay can be run up to a 1536-well format by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.

Assay data analysis

The 4 Parameter Logistic (4PL) curve is commonly recommended for fitting an ELISA standard curve. This regression enables the accurate measurement of an unknown sample across a wider range of concentrations than linear analysis, making it ideally suited to the analysis of biological systems like cytokine releases.

Spike and recovery

A fixed concentration of recombinant mouse IFN-beta was spiked into several cell supernatants containing known concentrations of mouse IFN-beta. Samples were mixed at a 1:1 volume ratio. The set of responses obtained from the standard curve was compared to the calculated expected values.

Dilutional linearity

A cell supernatant containing a known concentration of mouse IFN-beta was serially diluted in the culture media used to generate the sample. The set of responses obtained from the mouse IFN-beta standard curve was compared to the calculated expected values.

The mouse STING-specific agonists CMA and DMXAA trigger IFN-β release from NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells

The mouse NIH-3T3 fibroblast cell line was plated in a 96-well culture plate (100,000 cells/well) and incubated for 6h. The cells were then treated with 200 µM of the synthetic mouse STING-specific agonists CMA and DMXAA (under 100 µL). After 24h incubation, cell supernatants were collected and secreted levels of IFN-beta were measured following the procedure given in the HTRF kit’s package insert.

IFN-β secretion by the murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line treated with several STING agonists

The murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line was plated in a 96-well culture plate (100,000 cells/well) and incubated overnight. The cells were then treated with a fixed concentration of the synthetic STING agonists CMA, DMXAA, and ADUS100, as well as with the endogenous STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP (under 100 µL). After 24h secretion, cell supernatants were collected and levels of released IFN-beta were measured following the procedure given in the HTRF kit’s package insert.

Dose-dependent secretion of IFN-β by the murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line treated with 2’3’-cGAMP and ADUS100

The murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line was plated in a 96-well culture plate (100,000 cells/well) and incubated for 5h. The cells were then treated with increasing concentrations of either the endogenous STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP, or the synthetic small molecule ADUS100 (under 100 µL). After an overnight secretion, cell supernatants were collected and levels of released IFN-beta were measured following the procedure given in the HTRF kit’s package insert.​
