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.
Culture medium
F-12K + 10% FBS
Cryopreservation medium

Notes

Wild-type cell lines are sold with knockout cell lines only - not available for individual purchase.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

    Sandwich ELISA - Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab255450)

    Interpolated concentrations of native TRIM21/SS-A in human control wild type A549 (human lung carcinoma cell) and TRIM21 (TRIM21/SS-A) knockout A549 cell based on 200 µg/mL extract loads. The concentrations of TRIM21/SS-A were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the TRIM21/SS-A standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean TRIM21/SS-A concentration was determined to be 7026.2 pg/mL in wild type A549 extract (Human wild-type A549 cell line ab255450) and undetectable in TRIM21 (TRIM21/SS-A) knockout A549 extract (Human TRIM21 (TRIM21/SS-A) knockout A549 cell line Human TRIM21 (SS-A) knockout A549 cell line ab267025).

    Western blot - Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab255450)

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-PD-L1 antibody [CAL10] – Mouse IgG1 (Chimeric); Rabbit anti-Vinculin antibody (Anti-Vinculin antibody [EPR20407] ab219649) loading control staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, Anti-PD-L1 antibody [CAL10] - Mouse IgG1 (Chimeric) ab279292 was shown to bind specifically to PD-L1. A band was observed at 45 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Cd274 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and Cd274 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

    All lanes: Western blot - Anti-PD-L1 antibody [CAL10] - Mouse IgG1 (Chimeric) (Anti-PD-L1 antibody [CAL10] - Mouse IgG1 (Chimeric) ab279292) at 1/1000 dilution
