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.

Retinoblastoma protein (Rb) also known as pRb is an important regulatory protein with a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa. It is mainly expressed in the nucleus of cells. Rb functions as a tumor suppressor by controlling the cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. Rb becomes active when it is dephosphorylated allowing it to bind and inhibit E2F transcription factors consequently preventing the transcription of genes essential for S phase entry.
Retinoblastoma protein influences cellular proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. It acts within a larger protein complex modulating various cellular responses. When functional Rb halts uncontrolled cell division important for maintaining normal tissue homeostasis. In its phosphorylated state known as phospho-Rb or phospho-Rb E182 it loses its regulatory capabilities which can lead to unrestrained cell cycle progression.
Several involve the retinoblastoma protein. One key pathway is the p53 pathway which Rb interacts with to influence cellular outcomes like cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Rb cooperates with proteins like p21 to implement these processes. Additionally it is involved in the cyclin D-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) pathway which modulates its phosphorylation state influencing binding interactions and cell cycle control.
Dysregulation of retinoblastoma protein is commonly associated with cancer particularly retinoblastoma and breast cancer. In retinoblastoma mutations in the Rb gene directly lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation due to the absence of functional Rb protein. Additionally Rb's connection to the E2F family of transcription factors can become disrupted contributing to oncogenesis in other cancers.

Western blot: Anti-RB1 antibody (Anti-Rb antibody ab226979) staining at 1/1500 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-Rb antibody ab226979 was shown to bind specifically to RB1. A band was observed at 120 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in RB1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and RB1 knockout HCT 116 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.
