The SUNE2 cell line is derived from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from the biopsy performed on a 38-year-old female Cantonese patient. This cell line has extremely low concentrations of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in long-term culture and expressed low levels of latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A), BamH1-A right frame 1 (BARF1), EBV-encoded RNA-1 (EBER1), and EBV-encoded RNA-2 (EBER2) in early passages. The SUNE2 cells also show a significantly stronger transforming ability than the control 5-8F cells in colony where it only requires 1 week for a single SUNE2 cell to form a colony of more than 200 cells. The SUNE2 cells are also able to form tumors in nude mice. As the proliferation of SUNE2 cells is significantly faster than other NPC cell lines, SUNE2 cell line is considered to be a new in vitro model which is highly valuable in research on the mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of NPC.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.

Propagation
Use of PriCoatTMT25Flasks (G299) orApplied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells inECM-coated culturevessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line isPrigrow II medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM002. To make the complete growth medium, add thefollowing components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999) to finalconcentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) at a final concentration of1%. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.
Quality Control
1) Western blotting; 2) Immunostaining analysis using anti-keratin, anti-LMP2A, or anti-BZLF1; 3) Colony formation assay using statistical analysis
