Applications: Screen and validate antibodies against claudin-6 for drug discovery and research.Screen for compounds that regulate or inhibit claudin-6 signaling in a cellular context.Perform binding assays to screen for potential claudin-6 ligands.
Background: Claudins are integral membrane proteins and major components of tight junction strands which serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets. Claudin-6 is one of the 27 members of the claudin family.Claudin-6 is widely expressed in various tumors but rarely expressed in healthy adult tissues. This cancer specific expression of claudin-6 makes it a promising target as an antigen for cancer immunotherapy. Several therapeutics that target claudin-6 are currently in development or in clinical trials including bispecific antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, and CAR-T cell therapy products.
Description: Recombinant clonal CHO cell line stably expressing full-length human claudin-6 (CLDN6 gene accession number NM_021195.5). Surface expression of claudin 6 was confirmed by flow cytometry. The stable clonal cell line was selected for high levels of claudin-6 expression compared to the parental CHO-K1 cell line.
Host Cell Line: CHO-K1 cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary, epithelial-like cells, adherent
Mycoplasma Testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Storage Stability: Cells are shipped in dry ice and should immediately be thawed or stored in liquid nitrogen upon receipt.
Supplied As: Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of cell freezing medium (BPS Bioscience #79796)
Uniprot: P56747
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
