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

  • Slow to trypsinise.

  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.

  • A guide seeding density of 5-7x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.

  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.

Culture medium

MEM + 10% FBS + 0.01 mg/ml bovine insulin

Cryopreservation medium

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

Notes

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 MCF7 cell line (Human wild-type MCF7 cell line ab288560). 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.

Activity summary

The ICOS Ligand also known as ICOSL B7-H2 and HK53 is a critical component in immune system function. This protein with a molecular mass of approximately 65 kDa is expressed on professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells macrophages and B cells. It plays a significant mechanical role in the immune response by engaging with its counter receptor the ICOS protein present on the surface of activated T cells. This interaction supports the regulation of T cell activity influencing proliferation and cytokine production.

Biological function summary

ICOSL contributes to the modulation of immune responses. By forming a complex with the active ICOS protein ICOSL is involved in the co-stimulation of T cells. This process is important for the development of T-cell-dependent immune responses and helps in promoting the survival and differentiation of T cells. Together the ICOS ligand and ICOS protein create a dynamic interaction that balances immune activation and tolerance which is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis.

Pathways

The ICOS-ICOSL interaction plays an important role in the T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway. This pathway is fundamental for the activation of T cells and subsequent immune response. ICOSL also connects to the PI3K/Akt pathway where it impacts cell survival and proliferation. ICOS and the PI3K/Akt pathway work together to influence various aspects of immune regulation and adaptive immunity.

Associated diseases and disorders

ICOSL has a notable impact on autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its function in immune modulation when dysregulated can contribute to autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus. In this context the abnormal activation of the ICOS protein may exaggerate immune responses leading to pathology. In cancer high expression of ICOSL can support tumor progression by affecting the immune surveillance capability. These associations reveal ICOSL’s role in balancing immune activation and inhibition which is important in the context of disease.
