SSAO (semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase) has been associated with diabetes, Alzheimers, atherosclerosis, and stroke. Thus, it is necessary to have a reliable source of cells which expresses the desired protein for studies in its role and activity in pathways. The hSSAO/VAP-1 A7r5 Stable Cell Line stably expresses SSAO/VAP-1 in the plasma membrane, and releases SSAO into the culture medium. This cell line does not exhibit MAO-A nor MAO-B activities. It is a valuable source for studies in SSAO/VAP-1 membrane-bound form enzyme as a therapeutic target.

Sale of this item is subjected to the completion of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) by the purchasing individual/institution for each order. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at [email protected]. 3. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.

Propagation
Use of PriCoatTMT25Flasks (G299) orApplied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells inECM-coated culturevessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line isPrigrow III medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM003. To make the complete growth medium, addthe following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999) to a finalconcentration of 10%, 2 mM L-glutamine (G275) and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of1%. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.
Quality Control
1) Selection via antibiotic G418; 2) Western blot used to determine presence of SSAO; 3) Activity of SSAO, MAO-A, and MAO-B was detected by radiochemical methods
