General description
U2OS GFP-NUP98 are bone osteosarcoma cells from a human 15 year old caucasian female having a ZFN modification creating a GFP-NUP98 transgene expressed from the endogenous NUP98 gene locus.
This cell line was derived from ATCC Catalog No. HTB-96.
This cell line was derived from ATCC Catalog No. HTB-96.
Application
U2OS Cells have been used to assess cell proliferation using Alamar Blue and live cell imaging. This product is a human U2OS cell line in which the genomic NUP98 gene has been endogenously tagged with a 3XFLAG™ epitope and a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene using CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. Integration resulted in endogenous expression of a fusion protein in which the 3XFLAG is attached to the N-terminus of GFP and the GFP is attached to the N-terminus of NUP98. Fluorescence imaging shows characteristic NUP98 nuclear expression. This stable cell line was expanded from a single clone. The target′s gene regulation and corresponding protein function are preserved in contrast to cell lines with overexpression via an exogenous promoter.

Features and Benefits
Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated targeted integration of a fluorescent GFP tag just behind the start codon of the NUP98 gene on chromosome 11p15.4 to create a cell line exhibiting stable expression of the transgene tagged with GFP on the N-terminus of the protein.
The U2OS cells are adherent, with a doubling time of approx. 29 hours.

Quality
Tested for Mycoplasma, sterility, post-freeze viability, short terminal repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification, cytochrome oxidase I (COI) analysis for cell line species confirmation.
Preparation Note
Media Renewal changes two to three times per week.
Rapidly thaw vial by gentle agitation in 37°C water bath (~2 minutes), keeping vial cap out of the water. Decontaminate with 70% ethanol, add 9 mL culture media and centrifuge 125 x g (5-7 minutes). Resuspend in complete culture media and incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
Subculture Ratio: approx. 1:3-1:6
