Simple RANKL Bioassay, Consistent Results

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK/TRANCE receptor/TNFRSF11A) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family. Binding of its ligand RANKL to the receptor regulates osteoclast formation, activation and survival in bone modeling and remodeling, along with several pathologic conditions characterized by increased bone turnover.

The RANKL Bioassay is a bioluminescent cell-based assay designed to measure RANKL stimulation or inhibition. The RANKL Bioassay Cells have been engineered to express luc2P in response to RANKL signaling. When RANKL binds, the receptor transduces intracellular signals, resulting in luminescence. The bioluminescent signal is detected and quantified using Bio-Glo™ Reagent.

Assay Components

RANKL Bioassay Cells are provided in a thaw-and-use format as cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, plated and used in an assay without the need for cell propagation (Cat.# JA2701, JA2705).

RANKL Bioassay Cells are also available in a Cell Propagation Model (CPM) format, as cryopreserved cells that can be thawed, propagated and banked for long-term use (Cat.# J3102).

Workflow

Standardized Reagents Improve Results

  • Thaw-and-use format provides significant time and labor savings over traditional methods while reducing variability.
  • Kit includes all of the required reagents in standardized formats.
  • Easily amenable to high-throughput workflows.

Assay Principle

Schematic of the RANKL Bioassay. 16461ma-01

Representation of the RANKL Bioassay. The RANKL Bioassay consists of a genetically engineered cell line, RANKL Bioassay Cells. When RANKL binds to its receptor, receptor-mediated pathway signaling induces luminescence that can be detected upon the addition of Bio-Glo™ Reagent and quantified with a luminometer. Inhibition of RANKL binding by anti-RANKL antibody results in a decrease in luminescence. 

Assay Performance Data

Accuracy and precision are critical to bioassays and the development of biologics. This assay was developed and prequalified according to ICH guidelines for accuracy and precision, giving it the performance characteristics required for many applications of a bioassay used for antibody drug discovery research and development.

Accuracy: Measure of how close results are to a reference or "target" value.

IntraLab Precision: Measure of repeatability from multiple assays of the same homogeneous sample under the same operating conditions over a short time (same analyst; same lab; same day).

Intermediate Precision: Measure of repeatability of multiple assays of the same homogeneous sample with different analysts or equipment or on different days.

Linearity: Ability of the assay to provide measured values that are proportional to the concentration of the sample.

A 50–150% theoretical potency series of denosumab (anti-RANKL) was analyzed in triplicate in three independent experiments performed on three days by two analysts (for a total of six independent experiments). Bio-Glo™ Reagent was added, and luminescence was quantified using the GloMax® Discover System. Data were analyzed and relative potencies calculated after parallelism determination using JMP® software. Data were generated using thaw-and-use cells.

The RANKL Bioassay responds to recombinant RANKL. RANKL Bioassay Cells were grown and prepared as described in this protocol, and incubated with serial dilutions of recombinant RANKL. After a 6-hour incubation, Bio-Glo™ Reagent was added, and luminescence was quantified using the GloMax® Discover System. This graph shows raw luminescence measurements.
