Merck, MTOX1000CC-1VL, Caco-2 Engineered Control Cells

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:

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