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 for bath 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. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 4x105 - 5x105 cells/mL(for initial passages it is recomended to culture the cells in the higher range of recomended seeding density). Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Cultures should be monitored daily.
Recommended control: Human wild-type Raji cell line (ab290717). 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.

CD58 also known as lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3) is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa. It is present on the surface of various cell types including antigen-presenting cells epithelial cells and some other leukocytes. This protein serves as a ligand for CD2 which is expressed on T cells and natural killer cells. Through its interaction with CD2 CD58 mediates cell adhesion and plays a role in immunological synapse formation which is essential for effective immune responses.
Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 acts as a significant participant in the immune system. It plays a role in T cell activation and facilitates interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. CD58 forms part of a complex network of cell surface proteins that enhances immune surveillance and response. Its role highlights its importance in adaptive immunity by promoting cell-to-cell communication and activation.
CD58 participates in the cell adhesion pathways. It interacts closely with CD2 which is involved in the activation and signaling of T cells. Through this interaction CD58 plays roles in pathways like T cell receptor signaling and immune response. It enhances cell-cell adhesion helping T cells maintain their position during immune surveillance and activation.
CD58 relates to conditions such as autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. In autoimmune disorders aberrant expression or function of CD58 may contribute to inappropriate immune activation leading to tissue damage. In cancer CD58 alterations can affect tumor immune evasion influencing how the immune system recognizes and attacks cancer cells. In multiple sclerosis an autoimmune disease the interaction between CD58 and CD2 has been studied providing insights into its role in disease mechanisms.
