IL18 Knockout HeLa Cell Line, Homozygous (RM02514)

IL18 Knockout HeLa Cell Line is engineered from HeLa cell line with Gene-Editing technology.
Allele-1:7bp deletion in exon2
Allele-2:52bp deletion in exon2

Mammalian cells such as human, rat and mouse cells are normally diploid with two alleles.
Homozygote: both alleles were knocked out, mRNA has no signal, no expression of proteins.
Heterozygote: only one allele was knocked out, the mRNA transcript levels was decreased compared to wild type, and the protein expression levels was also lower than that of the wild type.

Upon arrival, it should be maintained in DMEM medium with 10%(v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100U penicillin-streptomycin, at 37℃ with 5% CO₂ condition.
1. Thaw the vial in 37℃ water bath ,and shake it to melt as soon as possible.
2. Transfer the cell suspension to a 15mL conical tube with pre-warmed 5mL complete me-
    dium and centrifuge 1000rpm for approximately 5 minutes at room temperature.
3. Remove and discard the supernatant.
4. Resuspend the cell pellet with 1mL pre-warmed complete medium and seed in 10cm dish.
5. Add 8-10mL of complete medium.
6. Incubate the culture at 37℃ incubator with 5% CO₂.
7. A subcultivation ratio of 1:2-1:4 is recommended.
