CHO-TACD2 Cells

Categories: Hamster cell lines Description: Disclaimer: The prices displayed for cell lines are exclusively for not-for-profit customers. If you represent a commercial entity, please contact us for alternative pricing.The CHO-TACD2 cell line is a stable recombinant CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line engineered to express the TACD2 receptor at a medium-high level, approximately 12,600 molecules per cell. This cell line was developed using an innovative landing pad technology, ensuring precise and reproducible integration of the TACD2 gene at a specific, pre-validated genomic locus. TACD2, also known as TROP2 or GA733-1, is a tumor-associated calcium signal transducer. It plays a critical role in intracellular calcium signaling, which is crucial for various cellular processes, including growth, division, and differentiation. Overexpression of TACD2 has been observed in various carcinomas, such as colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers, making it a potential target for antibody-drug conjugates and immunotherapy. The expression of CXCR7 in this cell line was confirmed using flow cytometry. Organism: Chinese hamster Tissue: Ovary Age: Adult Gender: Female Morphology: Epithelial-like Growth Properties: Adherent/suspension Citation: CHO-TACD2 (Cytion catalog number 305415) Biosafety Level: 1 Ncbi_ Taxid: 10029.0 Receptors Expressed: TACD2 (TROP2 or GA733-1) Culture Medium: For adherent cultures: DMEM:Ham's F12 (1:1), w: 3.1 g/L Glucose, w: 2.5 mM L-Glutamine, w: 15 mM HEPES, w: 0.5 mM Sodium pyruvate, w: 1.2 g/L NaHCO3 (Cytion article number 820400a)For suspension cultures: CHO Growth Medium A (from InSCREENeX, InSCREENeX catalog number INS-ME-1039) Supplements: For adherent cultures: Supplement the medium with 5% FBS. Add Geneticin (G418-Sulfat) to achieve a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Dissociation Reagent: For adherent cultures: Trypsin-EDTA Subculturing: For routine adherent cell culture: Aspirate the old culture medium from the adherent cells, and wash them with PBS to remove any remaining medium. After aspirating the PBS, add the appropriate volume of Trypsin/EDTA solution based on the culture vessel size (e.g., 1 ml for a T25 flask, 3 ml for a T75 flask) and incubate at room temperature or 37°C for 5-10 minutes, or until the cells detach. Monitor detachment under a microscope, and gently tap the vessel if necessary to release the cells. Once detached, add complete medium to inactivate the Trypsin/EDTA, gently resuspend the cells, and transfer an aliquot of the cell suspension into a new culture vessel containing fresh medium. Place the vessel in an incubator set to 37°C with 5% CO2, and change the medium every 2-3 days. Fluid Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week Post Thaw Recovery: After thawing, split the cells at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 in T25 flasks and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere (for adherent cultures) for at least 24 hours. Freeze Medium: As a cryopreservation medium, use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. Thawing And Culturing Cells: Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit. Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150°C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required. For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37°C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains. Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening. Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently. Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks, for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth. Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes. Sterility: Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. Safety Precautions: When planning to store a cryovial in liquid nitrogen for future thawing, it is mandatory to adhere to stringent safety measures. Appropriate protective gloves and clothing are essential, and the use of a face mask or safety goggles is required during the transfer of frozen samples to or from the liquid nitrogen tank. This is to mitigate the risk of injury from potential cryovial explosions upon removal, which can result in the projection of sharp fragments.
