The CellSensor® CRE-bla HEK 293T cell line contains the b-lactamase reporter gene under control of the cAMP response element (CRE). To obtain the cell line, the CRE-bla construct was transduced into HEK 293T cells by lentivirus. Subsequent flow cytometry was used to isolate clones responsive to forskolin stimulation. The CellSensor® CRE-bla HEK 293T cell line can be used to build specific G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) assays or to detect changes in intracellular cAMP levels.
