Human IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit | 72021 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Category: Immunotherapy/Assay Kit

Application: Useful for the study of IDO1 enzymology, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.

Background: L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in mammalian cells and the L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established as a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains an immunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp and releasing degradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Indoleamine 2,3- dioxygenases (IDO1 & IDO2), two of the rate limiting enzymes in this pathway, are upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.

Description: The IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure IDO1 enzyme inhibition. The IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is simple to use. Inhibitor and enzyme are added to a sample containing L-Trp substrate. After a room temperature incubation, activity is determined by measuring the absorption of reaction product at λ=321 nm.
