Caco-2 Engineered Control Cells
SIAL/MTOX1000CC - one vial of frozen cells
Product Type: Chemical
| biological source | human male colorectal tissue (Source Disease: adenocarcinoma) |
| form | liquid |
| storage temp. | −196°C |
| Application: | The Engineered Control cells can be used for drug permeability assays. They may also be used as the control in conjunction with C2BBe1 Transporter Knockout cell lines for drug/transporter interaction studies. Engineered control cells have been used in the in vitro Caco-2 permeability assay. The following posters and articles demonstrate how Caco-2 cells can be used for cell based assays: Transporter Function in Caco-2 Cells with Targeted P-Glycoprotein, MRP2 and BCRP Gene Knockout Using Zinc Finger Nucleases  Comparison of Function and Relative Transporter Protein Concentrations in Caco-2 Cells with Single and Double Knockouts of the ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC2 Genes Caco-2 Transporter Knockout Cell Based Assays |
| Features and Benefits: | The Caco-2 subclone C2BBe1 cells are ideal for transporter analysis as they express multiple transporters, are human-derived, and grow in a homogenous monolayer that forms tight junctions which is necessary for efflux ratio analysis. |
| General description: | The C2BBe1 cells, a sublcone of Caco-2 cells, correspond to ATCC CRL-2101. The C2BBe1 cells are adenocarcinoma, epithelial cells from a human caucasian male (aged 72 years). |
