BNBC
BNBC is a human STING-specific agonist. BNBC activates STING-IRF3 signaling, induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as type I/III interferons, and promotes dendritic cell maturation and the establishment of an antiviral state. BNBC can be used for research on STING-mediated innate immunity, dendritic cell function, and viral infection.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
BNBC (6 h) induces IFN-β, IL-29, and TNF-α mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner in HepG2/STING cells, but has no effect on parental HepG2, HepG2/STINGΔC, or HepG2/mSTING cells[1].
BNBC (6-18 h) induces IFN-β, IL-28A, and IL-6 mRNA expression and IFN-β secretion in THF cells; STING knockout completely blocks BNBC-induced IFN-β mRNA expression, whereas TRIF or IPS-1/MAVS knockout does not[1].
BNBC (50 μM; 4-8 h) induces an innate proinflammatory cytokine gene expression profile consistent with STING activation in THF cells and upregulates components related to PRR and interferon signaling[1].
BNBC (6 h) induces type I/III IFN expression and, to a lesser extent, TNF-α expression in human PBMCs[1].
