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.
Storage
- Shipped at conditions

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 A549 cell line (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.

- Activity summary
Ki67 is a nuclear protein often referred to as MKI67 with a molecular weight of approximately 345 kDa. This protein is strongly associated with cell proliferation. Scientists commonly use Ki67 staining techniques to identify and quantify proliferating cells in tissues. Ki67 is expressed in the nucleus during active cell cycle phases—G1 S G2 and M—but not in resting cells in G0 phase. It is detectable through methods such as Ki67 immunofluorescence and Ki67 flow cytometry which are important for analyzing cell division.
- Biological function summary
The Ki67 protein plays an essential role in cellular proliferation processes. It does not form part of a stable complex but interacts transiently with other cell cycle-related proteins. Research indicates that Ki67 maintains the structure of the perichromosomal layer during mitosis impacting chromosome separation. It is particularly active in tissues with high cell turnover such as bone marrow and lymphoid organs.
- Pathways
Ki67 influences several key cellular pathways that control cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein acts within the regulation of the cell cycle and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway important for cell growth and survival. Within these pathways Ki67 interacts with proteins like cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) which regulate transitions between different phases of the cell cycle.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Ki67 has significant implications in oncology and can be used as a biomarker for cancer prognosis. Its expression levels help determine the aggressiveness of tumors especially in breast cancer and prostate cancer. High Ki67 levels correlate with poor prognosis as it indicates rapid cell division. In cancer Ki67 associates with p53 a protein that regulates the cell cycle and function as a tumor suppressor.

Western blot - Human MKI67 knockout A549 cell line (ab288859)
Western blot: Anti-MKI67 antibody [SP6] (Anti-Ki67 antibody [SP6] ab16667) staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (Anti-Calnexin antibody [CANX/1543] ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, Anti-Ki67 antibody [SP6] ab16667 was shown to bind specifically to MKI67. A band was observed at 359 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MKI67 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MKI67 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
