Prepared from Sf9 cells which have been engineered to over-express specific ABC transporters, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) Transporter Vesicles are “inside-out” vesicles designed for use in vesicular transport assays. They allow the investigation of possible interactions between specific ABC transporters and test compounds. ABC Transporter Vesicles provide high levels of transporter activity with low background, giving a clear signal if the test compound is a substrate or inhibitor of a specific efflux transporter.

While ABC transporters typically mediate the efflux of substrates from cells, transporters expressed on these inside-out vesicles import substrates into the vesicles. It is therefore possible to quantitatively evaluate transport activity for the test compound by determining the amount incorporated into the vesicles.
Note: One vial of vesicle product can perform 50 vesicular transport assays.
