#C1209N 3CLPro L50F + E166V Expression Kit

$395.00$795.00

Express 3CLpro with the L50F + E166V mutation in mammalian cells including HEK293, A549, and many more. Use alongside other 3CLpro mutant proteases and our 3CLglow biosensor assays to test 3CLpro inhibitor efficacy against a panel of mutations in the protease.


 

 

3CLpro (Mpro) L50F + E166V mutation Expression Kit

In a recombinant SARS-COV-2 assay conducted in huh7-ACE2 cells, the E166V mutation alone displayed a 100-fold IC50 resistance to nirmatrelvir, although it led to reduced fitness (Iketani et al. 2023). However, when combined with the mutation L50F, virus replication was restored, resulting in a 53-fold increase in IC50 to nirmatrelvir (Iketani et al. 2023). The L50F, E166V mutation has been detected in patients and reported to the GISAID database (Shu and McCauley 2017; Iketani et al. 2023). Pfizer also reported a 34 to 175-fold increase in EC50 to nirmatrelvir using a biochemical assay (Pfizer Laboratories 2022).

  • Identify protease inhibitors that maintain efficacy against the L50F + E166V mutation
  • Easy co-expression with our 3CLglow and 3CLglowUp sensors
  • Cost effective screening with minimal safety requirements (BSL-1)

Materials in the Kit:

• 3CLpro L50F + E166V in BacMam
• Sodium Butyrate, 500 mM in H2O
