Figure 1. Recombinant CCR6/β-Arrestin/CHO-K1 constitutively expressing CCR6

The blue histogram represents CCR6 β-Arrestin CHO-K1 cells, with mean FL4-A value of 5.46E5. The red histogram is β-Arrestin CHO-K1 parental control cells, mean FL4-A = 979. High fluorescence signal confirms stable expression of human CCR6 receptor on the cell membrane.

Figure 2. Dose response of Recombinant Human CCL20 in CCR6 β-Arrestin CHO-K1(C33)

Cells were stimulated with serial concentrations of rhCCL20, and β-arrestin recruitment signal was detected by luminescence (RLU). The EC50 value is 24.1 ng/ml with S/B ratio of 18.5, demonstrating potent and specific CCR6 activation induced by CCL20.

Figure 3. Inhibition of rhCCL20-induced β-Arrestin Recruitment by CCR6 Antagonists in CCR6 β-Arrestin CHO-K1(C33)

Two CCR6 antagonists were tested for blocking the rhCCL20-mediated receptor activation. CCR6 Inhibitor 1 shows IC50 = 16.1 nM, PF-07054894 shows IC50 = 26.8 nM. The assay confirms this cell line is suitable for CCR6 antagonist screening.

Cell Resuscitation
1)Rapidly thaw the frozen cells in a 37 °C water bath for approximately 60 seconds. Once thawed (which may take slightly less or more than 60 seconds), immediately transfer the cell suspension from the cryovial into a 15 mL centrifuge tube containing 10 mL of pre-warmed CHO-K1 Human CCR6 β-Arrestin Cell Line complete culture medium.
2)Centrifuge cells at 1000 rpm for 5 min to remove medium, then resuspend cells in 5 mL of pre-warmed complete medium.
3)Transfer the cell suspension into a T25 culture flask and incubate at 37 °C with 5% CO₂.
4)After approximately 24–36 hours, replace the medium or passage the cells to remove non-adherent dead cells.

Subculturing procedure
1)When the cell density reaches the appropriate confluency for passaging, wash the cells with PBS, then add 1 mL trypsin to detach the cells. When more than 80% of the cells detach upon gently tapping the culture flask, add complete culture medium to terminate digestion. Gently pipette to obtain a single-cell suspension, transfer to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes.

2)Discard supernatant after centrifugation. Resuspend cells in fresh medium to a single-cell suspension and transfer to a new culture flask for continued growth.

Cell Freezing
After trypsinization and centrifugation of cells from each T75 flask or 10 cm culture dish, discard the supernatant. Add 2 mL of cryopreservation medium (90% FBS + 10% DMSO), gently resuspend thoroughly, and aliquot into two cryovials. Immediately place the cryovials into a controlled-rate freezing container (e.g., Nalgene 5100-0001), fill with isopropanol to the indicated level, and store at −80 °C. After 24 hours, transfer the cryovials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
