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.

Cathepsin C also known as dipeptidyl peptidase I is a lysosomal cysteine protease with a molecular mass of approximately 51 kDa. It functions mechanically by cleaving off dipeptides from the N-terminal end of proteins and peptides. Cathepsin C is widely expressed in various tissues with higher levels in immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages. This enzyme activates serine proteases from their inactive zymogen forms which is important for immune responses.
The enzyme contributes significantly to the immune system. It forms part of a multi-enzyme complex that processes proenzymes such as granzymes and cathepsin G into their active forms. Through these actions Cathepsin C regulates cellular activities linked to inflammation and apoptosis. The proteolytic activity it provides is critical for the functioning of immune-related cells facilitating defense mechanisms against pathogens.
Cathepsin C plays roles in the inflammatory and immune response pathways. It connects to the granzyme and lysosomal pathways important in processing and regulating granzyme activities critical for cytotoxic T lymphocyte functions. Cathepsin C maintains connections with proteins like granzymes and cathepsin G each involved in mediating immune responses and cellular death.
Cathepsin C is associated with conditions such as Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome and aggressive periodontitis. These disorders arise due to disruptions in immune protection resulting from mutations in the Cathepsin C gene. The enzyme's abnormal activity in these diseases highlights its connection with proteins such as neutrophil elastase which play critical roles in tissue degradation processes leading to periodontal disease.

Sandwich ELISA of Human Cathepsin C Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free ab314793 with the capture antibody dilution at 2 µg/mL and detector antibody dilution at 0.5 µg/mL. Interpolated concentrations of native Cathepsin C in human control wild type HeLa cell and CTSC (Cathepsin C) knockout HeLa cell based on 2.5 µg/mL extract loads. The concentrations of Cathepsin C were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the Cathepsin C standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Cathepsin C concentration was determined to be 310.1 pg/mL in wild type HeLa extract (Human wild-type HeLa cell line ab255928) and undetectable in CTSC (Cathepsin C) knockout HeLa extract (Human CTSC (Cathepsin C) knockout HeLa cell line ab265822).
