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.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

The PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine-protein kinase with a molecular weight of approximately 63 kDa. It plays a significant role in mitochondrial quality control through its kinase activity. PINK1 gets expressed in various tissues with a high presence in the brain. The protein localizes to the outer membrane of damaged mitochondria to initiate mitophagy an important cellular process for clearing dysfunctional mitochondria.
The PINK1 protein detects mitochondrial damage and recruits Parkin an E3 ubiquitin ligase to the damaged mitochondria. This interaction leads to the ubiquitylation of mitochondrial substrates and triggers their degradation. PINK1 Parkin and other proteins form a complex that facilitates the removal of damaged mitochondria through autophagy. This mechanism ensures cellular health and energy balance by maintaining a pool of functional mitochondria.
PINK1 integrates into the mitochondrial quality control and mitophagy pathways. It has a fundamental role in the PINK1-Parkin pathway which is critical for maintaining mitochondrial integrity. In this pathway PINK1 phosphorylates both ubiquitin and Parkin enhancing Parkin’s E3 ligase activity. Another pathway that PINK1 participates in is the PTEN-induced kinase pathway where it regulates mitochondrial dynamics and homeostasis via cross-talk with other mitochondrial proteins such as DJ-1 and LRRK2.
PINK1 mutations are strongly associated with familial Parkinson’s disease attributing to its role in preserving neuronal function through mitochondrial regulation. Deficient PINK1 function leads to accumulation of damaged mitochondria contributing to neuronal cell death. Additionally PINK1 dysfunction is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease as impaired mitochondrial clearance is a contributing factor. Here the PINK1 interaction with other proteins like Parkin and DJ-1 highlights its importance in neurodegenerative disorders.

Representative images PINK1 knockout HEK293T cells, low and high confluency examples (top left and right respectively) and wild-type HEK293T cells, low and high confluency (bottom left and right respectively) showing typical adherent, epithelial-like morphology. Images were captured at 10X magnification using a EVOS M5000 microscope.
False colour image of Western blot: Anti-PINK1 antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, the antibody was shown to bind specifically to PINK1. A band was observed at 63 kDa in wild-type cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PINK1 knockout cell line ab266393 (knockout cell lysate ab257030). To generate this image, wild-type and PINK1 knockout 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 (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
