TBX2 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided.
TBX2 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided.
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 U-87 MG cell line (ab278079). 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.
Cryopreservation cell medium: Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture medium: EMEM + 10% FBS
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.
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.

Tbx2 also known as T-box 2 is a transcription factor with a molecular weight of approximately 80 kDa. This protein is a member of the T-box family which is known for regulating gene expression through DNA binding. Tbx2 plays a role in controlling developmental processes by suppressing the expression of certain target genes. It is expressed in various tissues including heart limbs and craniofacial regions during embryonic development.
This transcription factor is influential in cellular proliferation and developmental growth. It acts as a transcriptional repressor and participates in developmental processes such as osteogenesis and limb formation. Tbx2 is commonly found in complexes with other proteins that help modulate its effects on gene expression particularly during the early stages of embryogenesis.
T-box 2 interacts importantly within the Wnt signaling and Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) pathways. These pathways are vital in developmental signaling where Tbx2 works with proteins such as beta-catenin in Wnt signaling influencing gene transcription linked to cell division and differentiation. Tbx2's role in these pathways affects the expression of key genes involved in tissue patterning and development.
Tbx2 has connections to cancer and developmental disorders. Its overexpression can lead to unchecked cell proliferation implicating it in melanoma and other cancers. Additionally its role in developmental processes links Tbx2 to disorders such as Holt-Oram syndrome through interactions with Tbx5 another member of the T-box family. Understanding Tbx2's precise functions and interactions is essential for developing therapeutic strategies targeting these diseases.
