| Cat. No. | T3502 |
| Name | FDX1 Stable Knockout H9c2 Cell Line |
| Description |
This H9c2 cell line features a stable knockout of Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) which is involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and electron transfer processes, which are critical for cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function. This cell line is particularly useful for research into cardiovascular diseases and mitochondrial function, as H9c2 cells are derived from rat cardiac muscle and are commonly used to study cardiac biology and metabolism. The knockout of the FDX1 gene allows researchers to investigate the specific role of this gene in cardiac cells, including its impact on mitochondrial efficiency, reactive oxygen species production, and overall cellular energy homeostasis. By studying the FDX1 Stable Knockout H9c2 Cell Line, scientists can gain insights into the fundamental processes affecting cardiac health, potentially leading to the development of targeted therapies for heart disease. This cell line serves as a valuable tool for both basic research and drug discovery processes focusing on cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. |

| Unpacking and Storage Instructions |
1. Visually examine the packaging containers for signs of leakage or breakage. 2. Immediately transfer frozen cells from dry ice packaging to a temperature below -130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor phase storage, until ready for use. To ensure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If continued storage is desired, the vial should only be stored below -130°C or in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Do not store at -70°C, as it will result in loss of viability. |
| Thawing Protocol |
1. Thaw cells quickly in a 37°C water bath while agitating gently (maximum 2 minutes). The vial cap should be kept above the water level to minimize the risk of contamination. 2. Decontaminate the vial by spraying and wiping the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. From this point onwards, all operations should be strictly carried out inside a biological safety cabinet using aseptic conditions. 3. Transfer the cell suspension into a 15ml sterile conical tube containing 5ml of pre-warmed, complete growth media. Centrifuge cells at 125xg for 5-7 minutes. 4. Aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet. Re-suspend the cell pellet in the recommended pre-warmed, complete growth media and dispense into a T25 culture flask. 5. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions. |
| Subculture Protocol |
Cells are sensitive to trypsin; Gentle Dissociation Solution (TM080) is recommended for subculture procedures. Volumes given below are for a T75 flask; proportionally increase or decrease the volume as required per culture vessel size. Subculture cells once the culture vessel is 80% confluent. 1. Aspirate the culture media, and add 2-3ml of pre-warmed Gentle Dissociation Solution (TM080) to the culture vessel. 2. Observe the cells under a microscope to confirm detachment (typically within 2-10 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach can be put in 37°C, for several minutes to facilitate detachment. 3. Neutralize the Gentle Dissociation Solution (TM080) by adding an equal volume of the complete growth media into the culture vessel. 4. Transfer the culture suspension into a sterile centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 125xg for 5 minutes. The actual centrifuge duration and speed may vary depending on the cell type. 5. Aspirate the supernatant, and re-suspend the pellet with pre-warmed fresh complete growth media. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels, as desired. 6. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions. |

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at licensing@abmgood.com. 2. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 μg, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 μg, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 3. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 4.
