Product details

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.

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.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

E2F2 also known as E2F transcription factor 2 is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. It is a protein with a mass of approximately 46 kDa. It plays an important role by regulating the expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression particularly the transition from G1 to S phase. Researchers have identified that E2F2 is expressed in various tissues with high expression noted in actively dividing cells such as those in fetal tissues adult testis and tumor cells.
Biological function summary

E2F2 functions as a transcriptional activator and repressor controlling genes necessary for DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression. It often associates with retinoblastoma protein (RB1) to form complexes that finely regulate gene transcription. E2F2 not only controls cell proliferation but also influences cell differentiation processes by coordinating the balance between distinct cellular states.

Pathways

E2F2 interacts with key players in the cell cycle such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). It is an integral part of the Rb-E2F signaling pathway which governs cell cycle checkpoints and progression. This pathway's regulation heavily influences the activities of other E2F family members such as E2F1 and E2F3 which can either promote or inhibit cell cycle transitions in response to various signals.

E2F2's dysregulation associates with cancer and retinoblastoma. Uncontrolled E2F2 activity often contributes to tumorigenesis by bypassing cell cycle controls resulting in unchecked cell division. In cancer altered interactions between E2F2 and proteins like RB1 can lead to the loss of tumor suppressor functions such as those observed in certain aggressive tumors. Understanding these interactions can provide insights into therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
