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
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Storage
- Shipped at conditions
- Dry Ice
- Appropriate short-term storage conditions
- -196°C
- Appropriate long-term storage conditions
- -196°C
Notes
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
VASP also known as Vasodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein is a 46-50 kDa protein involved in actin filament assembly and elongation. It plays an important role in cellular motility and the maintenance of cell shape. VASP is expressed in many cell types but is notably present in platelets and endothelial cells. It is an important player in signal transduction pathways that lead to cytoskeletal reorganization influencing cell movement and adhesion dynamics.
- Biological function summary
VASP is an important component in cell movement regulation. It acts within a larger complex of actin-binding proteins that control the assembly of actin filaments. This protein influences cell adhesion migration and signal transduction processes. Through these actions VASP influences cellular responses to environmental cues making it essential for cellular dynamics and integrity during development and wound healing.
- Pathways
VASP connects to significant signaling pathways such as the PI3K/Akt pathway and the cAMP pathway. It often interacts with proteins like c-Abl tyrosine kinase and Mena contributing to actin dynamics regulation. These pathways are critical for transducing signals from extracellular environments to intracellular responses allowing for coordinated cellular functions in processes such as cell migration and growth.
- Associated diseases and disorders
VASP plays a role in cardiovascular disease and cancer-related metastasis due to its function in cell motility and adhesion. Abnormal VASP activity is associated with impaired endothelial cell function and contributes to atherosclerosis development. Additionally it interacts with proteins like Mena and fascin in cancer cells aiding in metastatic progression by enhancing motility and invasive capabilities.

Western blot - Human VASP knockout HeLa cell line (ab265892)
Lanes 1-4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - Anti-VASP antibody [EPR1337(2)] ab109321 observed at 46 kDa. Red - loading control Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245 observed at 36 kDa.Anti-VASP antibody [EPR1337(2)] ab109321 Anti-VASP antibody [EPR1337(2)] was shown to specifically react with VASP in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265892 (knockout cell lysate Human VASP knockout HeLa cell lysate ab257792) was used. Wild-type and VASP knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Anti-VASP antibody [EPR1337(2)] ab109321 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4° at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
