General description

The C2BBe1 cells, a subclone of Caco-2 cells, correspond to ATCC CRL-2102. The MRP2 knockout C2BBe1 cells are adenocarcinoma, epithelial cells from a human caucasian male (aged 72 years) with functional knockout of the MRP2 efflux transporter.

The three week production lead time begins on the Monday following a purchase, in the third week the plates are shipped on Tuesday for receipt on Wednesday or Thursday. As a biologic product that′s shipped at room temperature the cells must be processed immediately upon receipt.

Features and Benefits

The Caco-2 subclone, C2BBe1 cells, are ideal for transporter analysis as they express multiple transporters, are human derived and grow in a homogenous monolayer that forms tight juntions which is necessary for efflux ratio analysis. Other benefits include:

  • A functional knockout of the MRP2 gene eliminates the reliance on chemical inhibitors to determine if a compound is an MRP2 substrate
  • The 24 well Transwell format enables the MRP2 knockout cells to be included in standard drug transporter protocols
  • Human assay with no interference from animal inhibitors
  • Overcome the limitations of RNAi and knockdown cell lines that arise from remaining transporter functionality

Membrane transporters P-glycoprotein [P-gp; multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1)], multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 2, and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) affect drug absorption and disposition and can also mediate drug-drug interactions leading to safety/toxicity concerns in the clinic. Challenges arise with
