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.
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 HCT116 cell line (Human wild-type HCT116 cell line ab288559). 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.

PDGFR beta also known as PDGFR-b or PDGFRB is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor with a molecular mass of about 180 kDa. It binds the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) family of ligands. PDGFR beta is commonly found in various tissues including blood vessels and connective tissues and is highly expressed in cells like pericytes and fibroblasts. The receptor plays a critical role in cell signaling mechanisms involving proliferation chemotaxis and survival.
The receptor plays an essential role in the regulation of cell growth and development. PDGFR beta undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation upon ligand binding initiating a series of downstream signaling cascades. This receptor is often part of a complex with other receptor proteins promoting interactions necessary for signal propagation. Its main biological functions include mediating cellular responses to environmental signals that contribute to tissue repair and angiogenesis.
PDGFR beta is an important player within the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. It works alongside proteins such as PI3K and Ras to regulate cellular responses related to growth and survival. These pathways facilitate cross-talk with other cellular processes influencing various cellular outcomes. This receptor's activity regulates critical physiological functions by providing signals that maintain cellular homeostasis under various physiological conditions.
PDGFR beta has significant implications in the progression of cancer and fibrotic diseases. Its overexpression or mutation can lead to anomalous signaling that contributes to tumorigenesis particularly in connective tissue tumors known as sarcomas. Additionally PDGFR beta's role in promoting fibroblast activity makes it relevant in fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Abnormal activation of PDGFR beta can interact with related proteins like VEGF receptors enhancing pathogenic responses and contributing to disease severity.
