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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.
Cryopreservation medium
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

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 A549 cell line (ab288558). 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

The gC1qR also known as gC1q-binding protein or C1qbp is a multifunctional protein involved in various cellular processes. It has an approximate mass of 33 kDa and is widely expressed on the cell surface mitochondria and in the cytoplasm of different cell types. gC1qR interacts with several ligands including C1q involved in the classical complement pathway. Its versatility in binding interactions allows it to influence several cellular environments and functions.

Biological function summary

GC1qR takes part in complement activation and immune surveillance by interacting with the complement C1 complex and various plasma proteins. As a component of high-molecular-weight complexes it modulates important cellular processes like inflammation apoptosis and infection regulation. Its presence on the mitochondrial membrane suggests a role in maintaining mitochondrial dynamics and function under stress conditions. By engaging in these arenas gC1qR serves as an intermediary in cellular signaling and immune response.

Pathways

GC1qR is significant in the classical complement pathway and apoptotic signaling pathways. It interacts with proteins like C1q and thrombomodulin influencing complement activation and coagulation pathways. It contributes to the propagation of immune responses by enhancing the interface between innate and adaptive immunity. Its interactions within these pathways highlight its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to environmental challenges.

Associated diseases and disorders

GC1qR associates closely with systemic lupus erythematosus and cancer. Dysregulation in its expression or function can lead to aberrant immune responses and contribute to autoimmune diseases. In the context of cancer gC1qR may interact with proteins such as HMGB1 and annexin A2 affecting tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding its role in these disorders aids in exploring potential therapeutic strategies targeting gC1qR interactions.
