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.

Notes

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 PC-3 cell line (Human wild-type PC-3 cell line ab290718). 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

ULBP3 also known as UL16 binding protein 3 plays a significant role in immune surveillance. The protein is a member of the NKG2D ligand family and has a mass of approximately 30 kDa. ULBP3 is expressed on the cell surface of many human tissues predominantly in stressed transformed or infected cells where it becomes more prominent. The expression of ULBP3 signals to immune cells especially natural killer (NK) cells and some subsets of T-cells acting as an essential point of recognition and interaction.

Biological function summary

ULBP3 interacts with the activating receptor NKG2D to initiate immune responses against tumor cells or pathogen-infected cells. The binding of ULBP3 to NKG2D forms a part of the recognition process leading to the activation of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells enhancing their ability to destroy target cells. ULBP3 operates independently and not as part of a larger ligand complex making its interactions directly important for regulating immune function across different environments and conditions aiding in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

ULBP3 participates integrally in immune signaling pathways like the NKG2D receptor-mediated pathway. Within this pathway its role in signaling enhances NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production. ULBP3 is related to other NKG2D ligands like MICA MICB and other ULBP molecules through this immune recognition pathway collectively contributing to immune defense mechanisms. These pathways form a critical element of the broader immune surveillance mechanism in the human body.

Associated diseases and disorders

ULBP3 has associations with various cancers and infectious diseases. Overexpression of ULBP3 has been observed in certain types of cancers such as lymphoma where it promotes recognition by the NK cells. Another area of interest is its role in viral infections where pathogens may modulate ULBP3 expression to evade the immune system. ULBP3's interaction with proteins like NKG2D is vital in modulating immune responses during these diseases highlighting its potential both as a target for therapeutic intervention and a biomarker for disease progression.
