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
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Cryopreservation medium
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Biological function summary
The Collagen alpha-4(IV) chain contributes to the integrity and function of basement membranes. It forms a heterotrimeric complex with other alpha chains specifically with COL4A3 and COL4A5 which together are essential for maintaining the filtration barrier in the glomeruli of kidneys. This complex also plays roles in hearing and maintaining visual function. The structural rigidity and filtration properties provided by these collagen chains are vital for the proper functioning of these tissues.
Pathways
The Collagen alpha-4(IV) chain is significantly involved in the basement membrane organization pathway. It interacts closely with other collagens and cell surface receptors to mediate cell adhesion migration and signaling processes. Within the same pathway proteins such as laminins and integrins work similarly to ensure the stability and communication between cells and the extracellular matrix. Through these interactions the COL4A4 chain ensures proper tissue organization and cellular responses to environmental changes.
