Background of PC9-HLA-A0101 Cell Line

HLA-A encodes major histocompatibility complex, class I, A and is also known as HLAA. HLA-A belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen so that they can be recognized by cytotoxic T cells. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons.

Cell Resuscitation

  1. Pre-warm complete culture medium (basal medium and 10% FBS) in a 37°C water bath.
  2. Rapidly thaw the cryovial in a 37°C water bath for 1-2 minutes with gentle agitation.
  3. Transfer the vial to a biosafety cabinet, and disinfect the exterior with 70% ethanol.
  4. Aseptically transfer the cell suspension dropwise into a sterile centrifuge tube containing 9.0 mL of pre-warmed complete medium.
  5. Centrifuge at approximately 125 × g for 5–7 minutes at room temperature, carefully aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet.
  6. Gently resuspend the pellet in an appropriate volume of complete medium and transfer the suspension into a T25 flask.
  7. Incubate the flask in a 37°C in a humidified 5% CO₂ incubator.
  8. Assess cell viability and morphology after 24 hours. If cells appear healthy, replace the medium with fresh medium supplemented with the appropriate selective antibiotic.
  9. Subculture the cells at a ratio of 1:4–1:6 every 2–3 days upon reaching 80%–90% confluency.

Cell Freezing

  1. Prepare the freezing medium (70% basal medium, 20% FBS and 10% DMSO) freshly before use.
  2. Pre-chill the freezing medium on ice and label the cryovials accordingly.
  3. Transfer the cell suspension to a sterile conical tube and perform a cell count to determine total viability and density.
  4. Centrifuge the cells at 250×g for 5 minutes at room temperature; carefully aspirate the supernatant.
  5. Gently resuspend the pellet in chilled freezing medium, ensuring a minimum cell density of 3×10⁶ cells/mL.
  6. Aliquot 1 mL of the cell suspension into each pre-labeled cryovial.
  7. Place the cryovials into a CoolCell® container and store at -80°C overnight for controlled-rate cooling.
  8. Transfer the cryovials to the liquid nitrogen for long-term storage the following day.
