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.

  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (Human wild-type A549 cell line ab255450). 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

The Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 2 commonly known as STAT2 is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa. It functions mainly as a transcription factor and is an essential mediator of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. STAT2 is expressed in various tissues including immune cells where it responds to external stimuli. It works by translocating to the nucleus upon phosphorylation subsequently influencing the expression of genes involved in immune response.

Biological function summary

Members of the STAT protein family including STAT2 play a central role in mediating immune responses. STAT2 often forms a complex with STAT1 and other proteins such as IRF9 to initiate the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). This complex known as the ISGF3 complex facilitates the cellular response to viral infections by promoting the expression of antiviral proteins that help modify the host cellular environment to resist viral replication.

Pathways

The involvement of STAT2 is closely associated with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the interferon signaling pathway. In these pathways it interacts with proteins like JAK1 TYK2 and STAT1 playing a part in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. Such pathways are fundamental to regulating the body's immune response to pathogens and managing cell growth and apoptosis in various cells.

Associated diseases and disorders

STAT2 alterations have been linked to autoimmune diseases and viral infections. Disruptions in STAT2 function can impair the body's ability to combat viruses effectively making individuals more susceptible to infections. STAT2 mutations or dysregulations might also connect to disorders like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus where immune system malfunctions occur. The interactions of STAT2 with other proteins like STAT1 and IRF9 in disease contexts underline its importance in maintaining immune system balance.
