Handling procedures
- Initial handling guidelines
Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.
1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.- Subculture guidelines
- All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
- A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
- Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
- Culture medium
- McCoY5a + 10% FBS
- Cryopreservation medium
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Storage
- Shipped at conditions
- Dry Ice
- Appropriate short-term storage conditions
- -196°C
- Appropriate long-term storage conditions

Notes
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
Recommended control: Human wild-type HCT116 cell line (ab288559). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

- Activity summary
Angiopoietin-2 also known as ANG2 or ANGPT2 is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 70 kDa. It plays an important role in angiogenesis facilitating blood vessel remodeling and maturation. The protein is mainly expressed in endothelial cells where it functions by binding to the Tie2 receptor partially disrupting the Angiopoietin-Tie2 signaling axis. This disruption modulates vascular stability and permeability. The lyophilized form of the ANG-2 protein is often used in research for functional assays like ANG-2 ELISA to quantify its levels in various biological samples.
- Biological function summary
Human angiogenesis processes are significantly affected by Angiopoietin-2 which serves as an antagonist to Angiopoietin-1 in regulating vascular dynamics. Although it does not form a stable complex by itself ANG2 activity is closely linked to its interactions with the Tie2 receptor modulating signal pathways that govern endothelial cell survival and permeability. Because of its dual role either stabilizing or destabilizing blood vessels under different conditions ANG2 serves as an important regulator during both normal physiological events and pathophysiological conditions.
- Pathways
Angiopoietin-2 significantly contributes to the angiogenesis signaling network. It is deeply involved in the VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) pathway where ANG2 acts to balance VEGF activities in angiogenesis and vessel permeability. The interplay between Angiopoietin-2 and other proteins such as Angiopoietin-1 which stabilizes the vessels is vital for the precise regulation of blood vessel homeostasis during normal and disturbed conditions.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Angiopoietin-2 has a prominent role in the pathology of diseases like cancer and diabetic retinopathy. In cancer excessive ANG2 expression may lead to increased tumor angiogenesis and metastasis making it a target for cancer therapies. In diabetic retinopathy elevated levels of ANG2 correlate with vascular leakage contributing to disease progression. The relationship between Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin-2 in these conditions emphasizes their collective impact on vascular anomalies associated with these disorders.
