*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Name: HCT 116 AXL KO Tet-inducible Cell Line
  • Tool sub type: Continuous
  • Parental cell: HCT 116
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Colon
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: Invasion, migration
  • Model: Knock-Out
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: Conditional knockdown of endogenous AXL expression upon treatment with Tetracycline
  • Description: Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) screens identifed AXL as a protein which underpins the migratory/invasive phenotype in colorectal cancer (CRC) (Dunne et al., 2014). AXL was shown to be a poor prognostic marker and an important mediator of cell migration/invasiveness. The HCT 116 AXL KO Tet-inducible cell line enables further investigation into the target as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
  • Production details: HCT 116 cells were transfected with pTRIPZ plasmid encoding Tet-inducible shRNA against AXL. Stably transfected cells were selected, maintained in mediumsupplemented with 0.5ÎĚ?Ÿg/mL puromycin and induced with 2ÎĚ?Ÿg/ml doxycycline.
  • Biosafety level: 1
