Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-Tg(Human BCMA) Luc reporter cell line which the BCMA gene stably expressed in Luc reporter CHO cells.
Description
The CHO-Tg(Human BCMA) Luc reporter cell line is a genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line that expresses the human B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) gene along with a luciferase reporter gene. This cell line is commonly used in research to study the interaction between BCMA and its ligands, as well as to screen for potential therapeutic agents targeting this pathway.

Background
The BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) gene is located on chromosome 16q23 and encodes a cell surface protein that is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. BCMA is primarily expressed on the surface of plasma cells and activated memory B cells, and it plays a crucial role in the survival and function of these cells. BCMA interacts with its ligands BAFF (B cell activating factor) and APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand) to promote the survival and differentiation of plasma cells, as well as regulate the immune response. Dysregulation of BCMA signaling has been associated with various autoimmune diseases and cancers, making it a potential therapeutic target for these conditions. Mutations in the BCMA gene have been linked to multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells, as well as other B cell-related disorders. Targeting BCMA with monoclonal antibodies and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies has shown promising results in the treatment of multiple myeloma and other B cell malignancies.
