Background of SP2/0-mRosa26-Lox71-GFP-High-Lox2272-KI Cell Line

In the SP2/0 mouse myeloma cell line, we employed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous recombination to achieve site-specific integration of a transgene into the genomic safe harbor locus, Rosa26. This strategy ensures stable and sustained transgene expression while minimizing unpredictable disruptions to the native cellular genome. For the specific construct, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene was inserted downstream of a strong promoter. This GFP expression cassette is flanked by precisely engineered, asymmetric LoxP site variants (e.g., Lox71 and Lox2272), thereby establishing a conditional gene-editing platform. This design enables the efficient, site-specific replacement of the initial GFP reporter with other functional genes (e.g., light or heavy chain genes of a therapeutic antibody) in the presence of Cre recombinase. Consequently, this engineered cell line not only facilitates real-time tracking of cell status and enrichment of positive populations but, more importantly, provides a foundation for a versatile and efficient "cell factory." It allows for the subsequent flexible and controlled high-level expression of various proteins of interest, making it applicable for recombinant protein production and antibody engineering optimization studies.

Cell Resuscitation

  1. Prewarm culture medium (RPMI1640 + 10% FBS) 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 1:2-1:4 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.
