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.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of homocysteine and serine into cystathionine. It is sometimes referred to as CBS monelyne or cystathionine synthase. CBS is a heme-containing protein with a molecular mass of approximately 63 kDa. It is expressed widely in tissues including the liver brain and kidney. The activity of CBS is regulated by various factors including the availability of cofactors like pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The enzyme CBS plays a role in the transsulfuration pathway where it helps in the metabolism of homocysteine. CBS is a part of a larger complex in some tissues where it interacts with other enzymes involved in sulfur amino acid metabolism. This function is important in maintaining cellular sulfur amino acid balance and protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by elevated levels of homocysteine.
CBS functions in the transsulfuration pathway which connects the methionine cycle and the synthesis of glutathione. This pathway is essential for detoxification and antioxidant protection. CBS interrelates with other proteins like cystathionine gamma-lyase (CGL) within this pathway. The interplay between CBS and CGL ensures the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine which is a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione.
CBS deficiency is linked to homocystinuria a disorder characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood and urine. Symptoms include cardiovascular problems and developmental delays. Furthermore alterations in CBS activity relate to cardiovascular diseases due to hyperhomocysteinemia. Within these conditions CBS interacts with other proteins involved in homocysteine metabolism such as methionine synthase which also contributes to the complexity of these disorders.

Representative images of CBS knockout HeLa cells, low and high confluency examples (top left and right respectively) and wild-type HeLa cells, low and high confluency (bottom left and right respectively) showing typical adherent, epithelial-like morphology. Images were captured at 10X magnification using a EVOS XL Core microscope.
Sandwich ELISA of Human CBS Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free ab312869 with the capture antibody dilution at 2 µg/mL and detector antibody dilution at 0.5 µg/mL.
Interpolated concentrations of native CBS in human control wild type HeLa cell and CBS knockout HeLa cell based on 25 µg/mL extract loads. The concentrations of CBS were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the CBS standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean CBS concentration was determined to be 4321.4 pg/mL in wild type HeLa extract (Human wild-type HeLa cell line ab255448) and undetectable in CBS knockout HeLa extract (Human CBS knockout HeLa cell line ab264950).
