The Immortalized Baby Mouse Kidney Epithelial Cells (iBMK, Clone W2) is derived by co-expression of adenovirus E1A and dominant-negative p53 (p53DD). In addition to its non-tumorigenicity, this cell line maintains its primary phenotype and expresses epithelial-specific markers such as E-cadherin, cytokeratin 8 and 18. Together with Bax Knockdown iBMK (T3024), Bak Knockdown iBMK (T3025) and Bax/Bak Double Knockdown iBMK (T3026), these cell lines form the ideal system for studying mechanisms regulating apoptosis. In the same way, when paired with Atg5 Knockdown iBMK (T3027) and Atg7 Knockdown iBMK (T3028), they present an attractive model for investigating the relationship between autophagy and metabolism homeostasis.

Sale of this item is subjected to the completion of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) by the purchasing individual/institution for each order. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at [email protected]. 3. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.

Propagation
Use of PriCoatTMT25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells inECM-coated culture vessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999)* to a final concentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of 1%.Change media every 2-3 days.Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.* Do not use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.
Quality Control
1. Western blot was used to confirm the presence of E1A and p53DD gene in the immortalized cell line. 2. Western blot was used to check epithelial markers E-cadherin and cytokeratin expression.
