Cell Culture
This product is a HEK293 stable cell line that stably expresses tag-free full-length human ADRA1A receptor. Upon agonist binding to human ADRA1A, the receptor activates Gαq, triggering PLCβ cleavage and the generation of IP3 and DAG, leading to intracellular calcium mobilization and IP1 accumulation. Therefore, receptor activity can be easily quantified in live cells in a dose-response manner by measuring IP1 or calcium flux. The cell line has been functionally validated with positive agonists. It is suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) and receptor functional evaluation assays.

Assay Principle
Cells are stimulated with test compounds to modulate intracellular cAMP levels. The resulting cAMP changes are then detected through a competitive immunoassay format, and receptor activity is quantified by dose-response analysis.

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 HEK293 Human ADRA1A 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.
