KLN-205

KLN-205 is a murine lung carcinoma cell line derived from an adult mouse. This cell line is widely used in cancer research, particularly for studying the mechanisms of lung cancer progression, metastasis, and potential therapeutic interventions. KLN-205 cells exhibit characteristics typical of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), making them a valuable model for investigating the molecular and cellular underpinnings of this disease. Researchers utilize KLN-205 to evaluate the efficacy of various chemotherapeutic agents, immunotherapies, and targeted treatments, helping to advance the understanding of lung cancer biology and treatment strategies.

KLN-205 cells are known for their robust growth and ability to form tumors when implanted in immunocompromised mice, providing a reliable in vivo model for preclinical studies. These cells are used to explore tumor-host interactions, immune responses to lung cancer, and the impact of genetic and epigenetic modifications on cancer development and progression. The KLN-205 cell line serves as a critical tool in oncology research, aiding in the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for lung cancer.

37°C, 5% CO₂, humidified atmosphere.

1. Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit.

2. Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150°C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required.

3. For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37°C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains.

4. Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening.

5. Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently.

6. Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium.

7. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks; for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth.

8. Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.

Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods.

To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections.

For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen.

Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage.
