This product is a CHO-K1 stable cell line that stably expresses human CXCR6 receptor. Upon agonist CXCL16 binding to CXCR6, the Gαi-type G protein signaling pathway is activated, inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and triggering a reduction in intracellular cAMP concentration. Therefore, receptor activity can be easily quantified in live cells in a dose-response manner by measuring changes in cAMP levels. This cell line is suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) and receptor functional evaluation assays.

Figure 1. CXCL16 effect on CHO-K1-CXCR6 clone 2
Inhibition curve of human CXCR4 antibody in CXCR4/CHO-K1 clone 6 using cAMP inhibition assay. The assay was performed with 10 μM Forskolin and 4.3 nM CXCL12 (EC90). The IC50 of CXCR4 antibody was 0.95 μg/mL, confirming its antagonistic activity against CXCR4 receptor.
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 CXCR6 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.
