Cellosaurus A549-Dual KO-RIG-I hACE2-TMPRSS2 (CVCL_A7ZS)

[Text version]
Cell line name A549-Dual KO-RIG-I hACE2-TMPRSS2
Accession CVCL_A7ZS
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: A549-Dual KO-RIG-I hACE2-TMPRSS2 (RRID:CVCL_A7ZS)
Comments Group: SARS-CoV-2 research cell line.
Population: Caucasian.
Characteristics: Ideal for studying SARS-CoV-2 viral entry into host cells, the viral RNA sensing pathway, as well as screening small molecule inhibitors and neutralizing antibodies. These cells are permissive to infection by SARS-CoV-2 Spike-pseudotyped viral particles (InvivoGen).
Characteristics: Stably expresses two reporter genes: SEAP (secreted ALPP) and the Lucia luciferase. In this cell line SEAP is under the control of an IFN-beta minimal promoter fused to 5 NF-kappaB binding sites. The Lucia luciferase reporter gene is under the control of an ISG54 minimal promoter in conjunction with 5 IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE).
Knockout cell: Method=Not specified; HGNC; 19102; RIGI.
Transfected with: HGNC; 13557; ACE2.
Transfected with: HGNC; 11876; TMPRSS2.
