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

Supplementary information

IFI6 also known as Interferon Alpha-Inducible Protein 6 is a 130-amino acid protein with a mass of approximately 14.7 kDa. This protein locates itself in the mitochondrial outer membrane and is expressed abundantly in tissues such as the liver muscle and kidney. The expression of IFI6 increases in response to interferon treatment especially interferons alpha and beta.
Biological function summary

IFI6 plays a role in apoptotic resistance mechanisms helping cells to avoid programmed death under stress conditions. This protein does not function as part of any large complex but operates independently to regulate apoptosis by controlling the mitochondrial membrane potential. Its involvement in cellular growth and immune response proves significant especially in viral infections where it modulates the cell's response to viral replication.

Pathways

IFI6 integrates into the interferon signaling pathway which is important in defending against viral infections. It collaborates with other proteins such as STAT2 and IRF9 to activate immune responses. Moreover IFI6 influences the apoptosis pathway where it interacts with anti-apoptotic proteins like Bcl-2 to support cell survival under certain conditions.

IFI6 is implicated mainly in viral infections and cancer. Its expression levels can affect viral persistence during infections such as hepatitis C. In cancer IFI6 has been observed in the context of melanoma where it interacts with proteins like Bcl-2 to potentially alter cancer cell survival and resistance to therapies. Understanding IFI6's role may hold importance for developing targeted treatments in such conditions.
