Background of MC38-LILRA5-Low-Cell-Line

LILRA5, also known as CD85, encodes a protein that is a member of the leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptor (LIR) family. It is known that members of the LIR family have activation and initial functions in white blood cells. The cross-linking of this receptor protein on the surface of monocytes has been shown to induce calcium flux and the secretion of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, indicating the role of this protein in triggering innate immune responses. This gene is one of the white blood cell receptor genes that form gene clusters on chromosome region 19q13.4.

Cell Resuscitation

Prewarm culture medium (DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 5μg/mL puromycin)in a 37°C water bath.
Thaw the frozen vial in a 37°C water bath for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the vial into biosafety cabinet, and wipe the surface with 70% ethanol.
Unscrew the top of the vial and transfer the cell suspension gently into a sterile centrifuge tube containing 9.0mL complete culture medium.
Spin at ~ 125 × g for 5-7 minutes at room temperature, and discard the supernatant without disturbing the pellet.
Resuspend cell pellet with the appropriate volume of complete medium and transfer the cell suspension into a T25 culture flask.
Incubate the flask at 37°C, 5% CO₂ incubator.
Split saturated culture 1:6-1:8 every 2-3 days; seed out at about 1-3 × 10⁵ cells/mL.

Cell Freezing

Prepare the freezing medium (70% DMEM + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO) fresh immediately before use.
Keep the freezing medium on ice and label cryovials.
Transfer cells to a sterile, conical centrifuge tube, and count the cells.
Centrifuge the cells at 250×g for 5 minutes at room temperature and carefully aspirate off the medium.
Resuspend the cells at a density of at least 3×10⁶ cells/mL in chilled freezing medium.
Aliquot 1 mL of the cell suspension into each cryovial.
Freeze cells in the CoolCell freezing container overnight in a -80°C freezer.
Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
