Background of S180-Epcam-High Cell Line

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein functioned as cell-cell adhesion in epithelia, cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. EpCAM have oncogenic potential through upregulation of c-myc, cyclins A & E after cleavage. Epcam is not only used as diagnostic marker for various cancer, but also a potential target for cancer therapy.

Cell Resuscitation

1. Prewarm culture medium (RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 2μg/mL Puromycin)in a 37°C water bath. 2. Thaw the frozen vial in a 37°C water bath for 1-2 minutes. 3. Transfer the vial into biosafety cabinet, and wipe the surface with 70% ethanol. 4. Unscrew the top of the vial and transfer the cell suspension gently into a sterile centrifuge tube containing 9.0mL complete culture medium. 5. Spin at ~ 125 × g for 5-7 minutes at room temperature, and discard the supernatant without disturbing the pellet. 6. Resuspend cell pellet with the appropriate volume of complete medium and transfer the cell suspension into a T25 culture flask. 7. Incubate the flask at 37°C, 5% CO₂ incubator. 8. Split saturated culture 1:2-1:3 every 2-3 days; seed out at about 1-3 × 10⁵ cells/mL.

Cell Freezing

1. Prepare the freezing medium (70% RPMI1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO) fresh immediately before use. 2. Keep the freezing medium on ice and label cryovials. 3. Transfer cells to a sterile, conical centrifuge tube, and count the cells. 4. Centrifuge the cells at 250×g for 5 minutes at room temperature and carefully aspirate off the medium. 5. Resuspend the cells at a density of at least 3×10⁶ cells/mL in chilled freezing medium. 6. Aliquot 1 mL of the cell suspension into each cryovial. 7. Freeze cells in the CoolCell freezing container overnight in a -80°C freezer. 8. Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
