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 MCF7 cell line (ab288560). 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.

S100A8 also known as calprotectin or MRP8 is a calcium-binding protein with a molecular weight of around 10.8 kDa. It is a member of the S100 protein family and is found expressed in myeloid cells such as neutrophils and monocytes. This protein often forms a heterodimer complex with S100A9 together referred to as calprotectin which plays a critical role in the immune response. Researchers frequently utilize calprotectin fecal ELISA MRP8 ELISA or calprotectin serum immunoassay to measure its levels in various biological samples.
The S100A8/S100A9 complex modulates inflammatory processes and immune responses. It acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator and is associated with leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation. This complex plays an important role in protecting cells from infections by inhibiting bacterial growth through sequestration of nutrient metals showcasing antimicrobial properties. Calprotectin significantly impacts immune responses and has become an interesting target for calprotectin ELISA kits to quantify its presence in plasma and other bodily fluids indicating inflammation.
S100A8 and its partner S100A9 are involved in toll-like receptor and receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) signaling pathways. These pathways are key in mediating inflammatory responses and linking to innate immunity. The calgranulin A ELISA is often used to evaluate their involvement in these pathways helping to elucidate interactions with other proteins like calmodulin that play a role in cellular regulation processes.
S100A8 is strongly associated with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Its elevated expression levels serve as a biomarker for these conditions highlighting its potential for diagnostic use via calprotectin ELISA kits. S100A8's relationship with S100A9 supports its connection to these diseases reflecting the complex's significant presence and functional role in chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation.
