Renseignements généraux
| Description | The HK EGFP-H2B cell line is a genetically modified Hela Kyoto cell line used primarily for the study of chromatin dynamics and nuclear processes. This cell line expresses a fusion protein consisting of Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) and histone H2B. The integration of EGFP into the H2B protein allows for the real-time visualization of chromatin in living cells under fluorescence microscopy, providing valuable insights into the spatial and temporal organization of the nucleus. The EGFP-H2B fusion facilitates numerous applications in cell biology, including the study of cell cycle progression, mitosis, and gene expression regulation. By observing the fluorescence patterns, researchers can identify and analyze phases of the cell cycle, chromosomal segregation, and structural changes within the nucleus. This cell line is derived from adult human cells, ensuring relevance to human biology, and is utilized in both basic biological research and more applied pharmaceutical studies. Additionally, the HK EGFP-H2B cell line serves as a crucial tool in epigenetics research. The ability to directly observe histone behaviors helps in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that underlie gene expression and silencing, as well as the effects of various epigenetic modifiers. The cell line's robust application in live-cell imaging experiments makes it indispensable for detailed studies requiring dynamic cellular analysis. |

Manipulation
| Milieu de culture | DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) |
|---|---|
| Suppléments | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS |
| Réactif de dissociation | Accutase |
| Repiquage | Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. |
| Densité de semis | 1 x 104 cells/cm2 |
| Renouvellement des fluides | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Rétablissement après le dégel | After thawing, plate the cells at 5 x 104 cells/cm2 and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere for at least 24 hours. |
| Milieu de congélation | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. |
| Décongélation et culture des cellules |
|
| Atmosphère d'incubation | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Conditions d'expédition | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Conditions d'entreposage | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Contrôle de la qualité et analyse moléculaire
| Stérilité | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
