General description

The C2BBe1 cells, a sublcone of Caco-2 cells, correspond to ATCC CRL-2101. The C2BBe1 cells are adenocarcinoma, epithelial cells from a human caucasian male (aged 72 years).

Application

The Engineered Control cells can be used for drug permeability assays. They may also be used as the control in conjunction with C2BBe1 Transporter Knockout cell lines for drug/transporter interaction studies. Engineered control cells have been used in the in vitro Caco-2 permeability assay. The following posters and articles demonstrate how Caco-2 cells can be used for cell based assays:

Comparison of Function and Relative Transporter Protein Concentrations in Caco-2 Cells with Single and Double Knockouts of the ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC2 Genes

Caco-2 Transporter Knockout 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 junctions which is necessary for efflux ratio analysis.

Quality

Tested for Mycoplasma, bacterial and fungal content, post-freeze viability, short terminal repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification.
