DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ C5a Anaphylotoxin Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

C5a is a proinflammatory peptide generated through activation of the complement system, and is more potent than the other anaphylatoxins, C4a and C3a, in activating peripheral blood leukocytes (Gerard and Gerard, 1994). It can actively participate in the regulation of local cytokine network by stimulating production of proinflammatory cytokines (Buchner et al., 1995; Hsu et al., 1999). The proinflammatory effects of C5a are mediated through binding to a specific 7-TM chemoattractant receptor, C5aR (CD88). Binding of C5a to phagocyte C5aR induces chemotaxis, production of superoxide anions, and release of degradative enzymes. Pharmacologic or genetic disruption of C5a/C5aR interaction reduces sepsis (Riedemann et al., 2003), immune complex-induced lung disease (Shushakova et al., 2002), and Arthrogen-induced arthritis (Grant et al., 2002) in experimental models. Millipore’s cloned human C5a-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant C5a expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at C5a.
