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 protein LAR also known as Leukocyte Common Antigen-Related phosphatase is a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase. It weighs approximately 220 kDa. LAR is expressed in various tissues including the nervous system and digestive tract. It comprises an extracellular domain a single transmembrane domain and two intracellular phosphatase domains which play a significant role in its interaction with other proteins.
This receptor-like phosphatase supports important cell signaling functions. LAR is involved in neural development processes and is part of the synaptic adhesion complex. By interacting with proteins in the plasma membrane it helps modify and maintain neural connectivity necessary for proper nerve function. Its activity influences actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-cell adhesion.
LAR plays a role in the axon guidance and insulin signaling pathways. In axon guidance it interacts with proteins such as netrin and nneural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) to facilitate correct neural wiring. In the insulin signaling pathway LAR can dephosphorylate key proteins like insulin receptor affecting glucose metabolism and overall energy homeostasis.
Research shows that LAR may be linked to diabetes and potential neurological disorders. In diabetes its interaction with the insulin receptor suggests a role in insulin resistance which is a major contributing factor in the disease. In neurological disorders LAR’s dysregulation can affect neural development and function possibly linking it to diseases like schizophrenia where cell signaling and connectivity changes are observed.
