The Mouse Fap stable cell line CT26 is a genetically modified cell line designed to stably express Fibroblast Activation Protein (Fap), a cell surface glycoprotein associated with tumor growth and progression. The Fap gene, which codes for Fap, is expressed in stromal cells across a range of organs and is involved in tissue repair and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Derived from the CT26 mouse colon cancer cell line, this stable cell line is an invaluable resource for researching the relationship between tumor cells and the surrounding environment. Under typical culture conditions, CT26 cells can develop in monolayers because they have an epithelial shape and stick to culture surfaces.
The researchers used genetically encoded FAPdL5**, targeted to various subcellular locations, to bind a heavy atom-substituted dye (MG2I-ester), forming an on-demand TAP-producing singlet oxygen. Stable HEK-293 cell lines expressing FAP in distinct compartments were generated, selected by FACS for equal expression, and verified by fluorescence microscopy. Photocytotoxicity was assessed using MTS assays and cell death was characterized by flow cytometry post-illumination. FAP locations included cytoplasm, ER lumen, membrane, mitochondria, and nucleus.

Customer Q&As
How stable is Mouse Fap expression? Is there detailed stability experimental data?
A: Mouse Fap Stable Cell Line-CT26 has been tested for multiple passages and Fap expression remains stable. We conducted experiments with multiple consecutive passages and verified the expression level of Fap through qPCR and Western Blot. The results showed that there was no significant change in the expression of Fap.
Has this cell line been functionally validated? Has it been tested in in vivo or in vitro experiments?
A: This cell line has been functionally verified in vitro, proving that the Mouse Fap it expresses has biological activity. We confirmed the functionality of Fap through Fap-related enzyme activity assay, cell invasion and migration experiments. Meanwhile, the cell line was also tested in in vivo mouse models, showing consistent results.
Does Fap expression have any effect on cell growth or behavior? Is there any relevant experimental data?
A: We conducted cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration experiments, and the results showed that Fap expression had no significant effect on the growth and behavior of CT26 cells. Experimental data, including cell proliferation curves, apoptosis analysis, and migration assay results, all support this conclusion.
