Thermo Fisher, R69007, Drosophila S2 Cells in Schneider's Medium

Drosophila S2 Cells in Schneider's Medium Gibco™DrosophilaS2 cells are used for heterologous protein expression in theDrosophilaMExpression System (DES™). The S2 cell line was derived from a primary culture of late stage (20-24 hours old)Drosophila melanogasterembryos. Many features of the S2 cell line suggest that it is derived from a macrophage-like lineage. S2 cells grow at room temperature in ambient CO2as a loose, semi-adherent monolayer in tissue culture flasks and in suspension in spinners and shake flasks.
DrosophilaS2 cells (frozen in Gibco™ Schneider's Medium) feature:
• Expression of protein transiently or through generation of stable cell lines
• Quality and performance testingExpression of protein transiently or through generation of stable cell linesDrosophilaS2 cells can be transfected with the recombinant expression vector alone for transient expression studies or in combination with a selection vector (e.
g.
pCoHygroorpCoBlast) to generate stable cell lines. A variety of DES™ kits are available to allow expression of the recombinant protein of interest in S2 cells.
Quality and performance testingEach lot of Gibco™ S2 cells is tested for cell growth and viability post-recovery from cryopreservation. In addition, the Master Seed Bank has been tested for contamination of bacteria, yeast, mycoplasma and virus and has been characterized by isozyme and karyotype analysis.
