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.

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. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 4x105 cells/mL. 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.
5. THP-1 cells recover slowly from cryopreservation and therefore may not be ready for subculture for a number of days. Cells should be left as much as possible over this time and only subcultured when the cell density reaches 8x105 cells/mL.Small amounts of fresh media can be added until cell number/viability improves.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • Cells should be seeded at 2x105 - 3x105 cells/mL and subcultured when they have reached 8x105 cells/mL.
  • It is not recommended to allow the cell density to exceed 1x106 cells/mL.
Culture medium

RPMI + 10% FBS + 0.05 mM beta-mercaptoethanol

Cryopreservation medium

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

Supplementary information

TIM-3 also known as T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 or HAVCR2 is a protein involved in immune regulation. It possesses an approximate mass of 35 kDa. TIM-3 is expressed on various immune cells including T cells NK cells and dendritic cells especially after activation. The expression level often changes in response to inflammatory conditions suggesting its role in modulating immune responses.
Biological function summary

TIM-3 functions as a checkpoint inhibitor impacting immune cell activity. It is not part of a larger physical complex but it modulates immune responses by interacting with its ligands such as Galectin-9 phosphatidylserine and CEACAM1. TIM-3 involvement in downregulating Th1 cell responses shows its necessary role in maintaining immune homeostasis. The protein also acts in regulating tolerance mechanisms and preventing autoimmunity.

Pathways

TIM-3 participation is seen in the immune checkpoint and T cell exhaustion pathways. TIM-3 signaling results in T cell inhibition affecting the PD-1 pathway as well. It shares a relationship with proteins like LAG-3 and PD-1 which are key to immune inhibitory signaling. These interactions depict TIM-3's role in immune tolerance during chronic infections and malignancies.

TIM-3 association with cancer and chronic infections provides insight into therapeutic implications. In cancer TIM-3 contributes to immune evasion often co-expressed with PD-1 leading to T cell exhaustion. In autoimmune diseases TIM-3 modulation may affect disease progression by influencing immune tolerance. Understanding TIM-3's role in these contexts aids in developing targeted therapies such as anti-TIM-3 antibodies to enhance immune responses in cancer while promoting tolerance in autoimmunity.
