Thawing & Subculturing Instructions 1. Thaw cells by gently swirling in a 37°C water bath. To limit contamination, do not submerge the O-ring and cap.

2. When cells are ~70% thawed (~1 min), transfer the vial into a biosafety cabinet, and wipe the surface with 70% ethanol. Allow tube to dry completely.

3. Transfer the cells gently into a 15 mL conical tube containing 10 mL of pre-warmed culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker). Centrifuge cells at ~125 x g for 5~7 min.

4. Remove supernatant without disturbing the pellet, and resuspend cells in 1 mL culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker). Transfer cells to a 6-well plate containing ~2 mL pre-warmed growth medium (without antibiotic selection marker) or a T25 flask containing 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker).

5. Incubate the culture at 37°C with 5% CO2.

6. Subculture: split saturated culture 1:4 ~ 1:6 every 3 days; seed out at about 1~3 x 10^5 cells/mL.
Growth Properties Suspension, round
Freeze Medium Frozen with 70% medium, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO
Freezing Instructions Cells are recommended to generate additional frozen stocks at early passages. Frozen stocks should be preserved in a designated cryopreservation medium or in 70% RPMI 1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO (without antibiotic selection marker).

1. Prepare the freezing medium (70% RPMI 1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO, without antibiotic selection marker) fresh immediately before use.

2. Keep the freezing medium on ice and label cryovials.

3. Transfer cells to a sterile, conical centrifuge tube, and count the cells.

4. Centrifuge the cells at 250 x g for 5 minutes at room temperature and carefully aspirate off the medium.

5. Resuspend the cells at a density of at least 3 x10^6 cells/ml in chilled freezing medium.

6. Aliquot 1 ml of the cell suspension into each cryovial.

7. Freeze cells in the CoolCell freezing container overnight in a -80°C freezer.

8. Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
Mycoplasma Negative
Format One frozen vial containing millions of cells
Storage Liquid nitrogen
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.

The EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C gene mutation is a specific alteration that occurs in the EML4-ALK fusion gene, which is responsible for encoding the EML4-ALK fusion protein. This fusion protein is a tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in cell growth, proliferation, and migration.Mutations in the EML4-ALK gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, commonly seen in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in an isoform known as positive lymphoma kinase (ALK). The EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C mutation is a complex mutation involving two specific alterations: D1203N and F1174C. The D1203N mutation occurs at amino acid 1203, resulting in the substitution of aspartic acid for asparagine, and the F1174C mutation occurs at amino acid 1174, resulting in the substitution of phenylalanine for cysteine. Together, these alterations affect the structure and function of the EML4-ALK fusion protein, leading to its constitutive activation and promoting cell growth, survival and migration. This particular mutation is of interest in non-small cell lung cancer as it is often associated with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options.The EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C mutation can produce resistance to standard chemotherapeutic agents and alter the sensitivity of cancer cells to a variety of therapeutic approaches.
The human EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C stable cell line, BaF3, is an important tool for researchers to study the function and signalling pathway of the EML4-ALK fusion gene.The EML4-ALK fusion gene is produced by the fusion of the EML4 gene and the ALK gene, which results in the production of a fusion protein with constitutively active tyrosine kinase activity. The D1203N and F1174C mutations in the ALK gene are known to produce resistance to ALK inhibitors, making this stable cell line an important model for studying the mechanisms of resistance and developing new therapies to overcome resistance. This stable cell line can be used to test the efficacy of new ALK inhibitors and to study the signalling pathways downstream of mutant ALK proteins. It provides an important tool for the study and development of targeted therapies for NSCLC patients with mutations in the EML4-ALK fusion gene, including those resistant to existing inhibitors. In conclusion, the human EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C stable cell line, BaF3, plays an important role in the study and development of new targeted therapies against this aggressive lung cancer.
Customer Q&As
What is the EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C gene and its relevance to cancer?

A: The EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C gene represents a specific variant of the EML4-ALK fusion gene, which is found in some cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The D1203N and F1174C mutations occur within the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) portion of the fusion protein, altering its structure and function. This variant is known to contribute to the development of aggressive lung cancer and is a target for targeted therapies.

How do the D1203N and F1174C mutations affect ALK function?

A: The D1203N and F1174C mutations in the EML4-ALK fusion protein affect ALK function by altering its kinase domain. These changes can lead to increased kinase activity, which in turn promotes uncontrolled cell growth and survival. This hyperactivity is a key driver of the oncogenic process in some NSCLC cases.

Are there any therapeutic implications of targeting the EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C fusion gene?

A: Targeting the EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C fusion gene has significant therapeutic implications. Inhibitors of ALK kinase activity, such as crizotinib (Xalkori) and newer ALK inhibitors, can be effective in treating NSCLC with this specific fusion variant. These targeted therapies can lead to tumor regression and improve patient outcomes.

How is the EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C fusion gene detected and diagnosed?

A: The EML4-ALK-D1203N-F1174C fusion gene is detected through molecular diagnostic techniques such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and next-generation sequencing (NGS). These methods can identify the specific fusion event and the presence of the D1203N and F1174C mutations, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with NSCLC and this fusion variant.
