InvivoGen provides monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) of the IgA isotype specifically isolated for their ability to neutralize key cytokines of the innate
immune response. The neutralizing activity of these IgA MAbs were determined using HEK-Blue Cytokine Cells. Cytokine stimulation assays were
performed in the absence or presence of the IgA MAbs and monitored using QUANTI-Blue (see below).

Description
HEK-Blue Cytokine Cells is a new family of engineered cell lines designed to provide a simple, rapid and reliable method to monitor the activation of signaling
pathways induced by key cytokines. They allow to detect these biologically active cytokines and can also be used to screen for compounds exhibiting agonist and
antagonist activities. HEK-Blue Cytokines Cells are engineered HEK293 cells featuring the HEK-Blue technology. This technology is based on the inducible
expression of an optimized secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene and its quantitative detection using QUANTI-Blue, a SEAP
colorimetric detection medium. HEK-Blue Cells express the SEAP reporter gene under the control of different inducible promoters chosen or developed to be
selectively activated by the cytokines known to induce the pathway of interest. In the presence of a cytokine, agonist or antagonist compound, the pathway is
activated or inhibited modulating the SEAP activity. The amount of SEAP secreted in the cell supernatant can be measured spectrometrically at 650 nm.

A- Stimulation of HEK-Blue IFN-/ cells by recombinant human IFN2b, IFN1a and IFN
was assessed by measuring the levels of SEAP secreted in the supernatant using
QUANTI-Blue. B- HEK-Blue IFN-/ cells were used to determine the neutralization
activity of anti-human IFN. Approximately 100 ng/ml of the antibody neutralizes 50% of the
bioactivity due to 103 IU/ml of IFN2b. Anti-human IFN has no neutralizing activity on IFN.

A- Stimulation of HEK-Blue IL-6 cells by recombinant human IL-6 was assessed by measuring
the levels of SEAP secreted in the supernatant using QUANTI-Blue. B- HEK-Blue IL-6 cells
were used to determine the neutralization activity of hIL-6-IgA. Approximately 20 ng/ml of the
antibody neutralizes 50% of the bioactivity due to 5 ng/ml of IL-6.

activity of hIL4-IgA and hIL-13-IgA. Approximately 20 ng/ml of the anti-IL-4 or 100
ng/ml of the anti-IL-13 neutralizes 50% of the bioactivity due to 1 ng/ml of IL-4 or 50
ng/ml of IL-13, respectively.
