Description

General description

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

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.

Application

The following posters and articles demonstrate how Caco-2 cells can be used for cell based assays:

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:

• Functional knockout of the BCRP and MRP2 genes eliminates the reliance on chemical inhibitors to determine if a compound is a BCRP or MRP2 substrate
• The 24 well Transwell format enables the BCRP and 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
