Cat. No. CSC-RG0815
Background The CB2 cannabinoid receptor is expressed primarily in cells of the peripheral immune system and is a target for cannabinoids (Munro et al., 1993; Gerard et al., 1991), the psychoactive ingredients of marijuana. Other members of the cannabinoid family of receptors include the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, which is expressed primarily in brain, and GPR55 (Ryberg, 2007). When activated, the CB2 receptor inhibits adenylate cyclase by coupling through Gi.

Safety Considerations The following safety precautions should be observed.
1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum.
2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line.
3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab.
4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells.
5. All waste should be considered hazardous.
6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach.
