PlasmoTest™ provides a simple, rapid and reliable assay for the visual detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures. This assay is the first to utilize cells to signal the presence of mycoplasma. PlasmoTest™ features two major constituents: the Mycoplasma sensor cells and the HEK-Blue™ Detection medium. The Mycoplasma sensor cells detect the presence of mycoplasmas leading to a color change of the HEK-Blue™ Detection medium. The Mycoplasma sensor cells recognize mycoplasmas through Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR2), a pathogen recognition receptor. In the presence of mycoplasmas, TLR2 initiates a signaling cascade leading to the activation of NF-kB and other transcription factors. These transcription factors induce the secretion of SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) in the supernatant which is readily detected by the purple/blue coloration of the HEK-Blue™ Detection medium.
