Mycoplasma Testing

The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.

Background

Human transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) is an enzyme primarily expressed by endothelial cells across the respiratory and digestive tracts. It is involved in viral entry and spread of coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Blocking TMPRSS2 could potentially be an effective clinical therapy for COVID-19.

Storage/Stability

Cells are shipped in dry ice and should immediately be thawed or stored in liquid nitrogen upon receipt. Do not use a -80°C freezer for long term storage.

Growth Media

For best results, it is highly recommended to use these validated and optimized media from BPS Bioscience. Other preparations or formulations of media may result in suboptimal performance.

Media Required for Cell Culture

Thaw Medium 1 (BPS Bioscience #60187): MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1 mM Na pyruvate, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin

Growth Medium 1P (BPS Bioscience #78095): MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1 mM Na pyruvate, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin and 3 μg/ml of Puromycin

Media Required for Functional Cellular Assay

Thaw Medium 1 (BPS Bioscience #60187): MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1 mM Na pyruvate, and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin.

Assay Medium: H-CELL-100 Medium (Wisent Bio Products, #001-035-CL)

Applications

Screen human TMPRSS2 inhibitors

Shipping Temperature

-80°C
