CACO-2/TC-7 HUMAN COLON CELL LINE

Application

Caco-2/TC-7 Human Colon Adenocarcinoma Cell Line was isolated from a late passage of the parental Caco-2 cell line and comprises a more homogeneus population of cells that exhibit the characteristic functions of small intestinal enterocytes including organization of the apical brush border, distribution of the associated hydrolase sucrase-isomaltase (SI), more developed interceliular tight junctions and a shorter differentiation time (1).Reference:1. J. Cell Sci. 1994; 107(Pt 1): 213-225

Each vial contains 1X10^6 viable cells. Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services. Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services. Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination. Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.

Features and Benefits

Caco-2/TC-7 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line is a useful model for intestinal drug permeability and absorption studies.

Storage and Stability

Store in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
