The HEK293-FOLR1 cell line is a stable recombinant HEK293 cell line engineered to express the FOLR1 receptor at a medium-high level, approximately 15,000 molecules per cell. This cell line was developed using inscreenex's landing pad technology, ensuring precise and reproducible integration of the FOLR1 gene at a specific, pre-validated genomic locus. FOLR1, also known as Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα) or FBP, is a GPI-anchored membrane protein with a strong affinity for folate, facilitating its transport into cells. FOLR1 is markedly overexpressed in certain cancers, such as ovarian, breast, and non-small cell lung cancers, making it a significant target for immuno-oncology therapies, including CAR T cell therapies and bispecific antibodies.The expression of FOLR1 in this cell line was confirmed using flow cytometry with a target-specific antibody, ensuring reliable and consistent receptor density across the cell population.
