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.
Culture medium
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Cryopreservation medium

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type HeLa cell line (Human wild-type HeLa cell line ab255928). 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

Rel B also known as RELB proto-oncogene is a member of the NF-κB family of transcription factors. This protein plays a significant role in regulating gene expression. Rel B has a molecular mass of approximately 68 kDa. It expresses in diverse tissues including lymphoid organs and epithelial cells. It generally resides in the cytoplasm and translocates to the nucleus upon activation.

Biological function summary

Rel B serves as a critical component of the alternative NF-κB signaling pathway. It often forms a complex with another NF-κB family member called p52. This complex controls the transcription of genes involved in the immune response cell survival and differentiation. Additionally Rel B contributes to the development of secondary lymphoid organs and modulation of immune responses.

Pathways

Rel B integrates into the non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathway also influencing the canonical pathway to a lesser extent. In the non-canonical pathway Rel B interacts with NIK and p100 to influence immune cell function. This involvement makes Rel B essential in processes like adaptive immunity and inflammatory responses. The protein p52 closely associates with Rel B aiding its activity in these pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

Rel B has connections to autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Abnormal Rel B activity can lead to chronic inflammation and contribute to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. In cancer its deregulation associates with lymphomas where it may interact with other NF-κB proteins like p50 and RelA affecting cell proliferation and survival. Understanding Rel B in these contexts could provide insights into therapeutic targets.
