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.

- Activity summary
The interferon-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L) is a protein encoded by the IFI44L gene. It is also known as IFI44L protein or sometimes simply IFI44L. This protein has a molecular mass of around 49 kDa. IFI44L is broadly expressed in many tissues with higher expression in blood and spleen. Mechanically IFI44L contributes to the antiviral response by being induced by type I and type II interferons. Its exact mechanism of action involves modulation in response to viral infection although full details of how it works are still not completely understood.
- Biological function summary
IFI44L plays an active role in the body's defense against viral infections. It participates as part of the broader immune response. While not being recognized as a classic element of a large protein complex it interacts with cellular machinery responsible for immune regulation and interferon signaling. This protein contributes towards the establishment of an antiviral state in affected cells through mechanisms which are yet to be completely defined. Its inducible nature makes it an important part of how cells respond to foreign viral components.
- Pathways
This target connects to the interferon signaling pathway which is important for antiviral defenses. IFI44L plays a significant role in the broader cytokine signaling pathways particularly those related to type I interferon responses. It interacts with proteins such as MX1 and IFIT1 which are important elements of the interfacing network that responds to viral challenges in the cell. These relationships help in sustaining a robust antiviral state within the host.
- Associated diseases and disorders
IFI44L is linked to conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and viral infections such as hepatitis C. This can be due to its regulatory role in immune responses and interferon signaling. In SLE where interferon activity is often dysregulated IFI44L expression can be elevated. It also connects with proteins like IFI27 and ISG15 which are similarly upregulated in response to viral infections and are implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Understanding IFI44L's function and interactions further aids in exploring therapeutic approaches for these conditions.
