Category: Immunotherapy/Assay Kit

Application: Useful for the study of TDO 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. Tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO) is upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.

Description: The TDO Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure TDO enzyme inhibition. The TDO 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 measured by measuring the absorption of reaction product at
= 320-325 nm.
