Product Overview:
Full-length human NMBR cDNA encoding BB1
Background Information:
Bombesin, a bioactive peptide first identified in amphibian skin, is related to two mammalian peptides, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B (NMB). A family of 3 GPCRs, including NMB-R (BB1), GRP-R (BB2) and BRS-3 (BB3), mediate the biological effects of the peptides. The receptors differ in their affinities for the peptides; BB2 binds to GRP with 50-300-fold greater affinity than to NMB, whereas BB1 binds to NMB with 10-800-fold greater affinity than to GRP (Tokita et al., 2004). Binding of ligand to BB1 activates Gq to increase intracellular calcium concentrations. The CNS is a major site of NMB and BB1 expression, and BB1 appears to be involved in thermoregulation (Ohki-Hamazaki et al., 2005). Chemicon's cloned human BB1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant BB1 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for antagonists of interactions between BB1 and its ligands.

Storage Conditions:
1. Immediately upon receipt, thaw cells or place cells in liquid nitrogen. Maintain frozen in liquid nitrogen for up to 5 years.
2. Thaw cells rapidly by removing from liquid nitrogen and immediately immersing in a 37ºC water bath. Immediately after ice has thawed, sterilize the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. Transfer contents of the vial to a T75 flask containing growth media. Place the flask in a humidified incubator at 37ºC with 5% CO2.
3. After 8-24 h, all live cells will be attached. Viability of the cells is expected to be 50-80%. At this time, replace media to remove residual DMSO, and return to incubator.
4. When cells are approximately 80% confluent, passage the cells as follows: Remove media and wash once with HBSS without Ca++ and Mg++ (10 mL/T75). Add 0.05% trypsin/0.2 g/L EDTA (1 mL/T75) and place in humidified incubator at 37ºC with 5% CO2 until cells begin to round up and detach (5-10 minutes). Gently rap the side of the flask to dislodge the cells. Neutralize trypsin by addition of 4 mL Chem-1 Growth Media per 1 mL trypsin.
5. Cells are typically passaged 1:10 every 3-4 days. Passaging ratio may be varied according to requirements of the investigator.
6. Frozen stocks of cells should be prepared at the earliest passage possible after thawing, as follows: Count detached cells (prepared as in Step 4). Centrifuge cells at 200 x g for 5 min. Resuspend cells at 5 x 106 cells/mL in Chem-1 Freezing Media (cell densities of 2-10 x 106 are also acceptable if necessary). Dispense 1 mL aliquots into cryopreservation vials. Freeze the cells by a controlled rate process, such as in an isopropanol-jacketed container placed at –70°C overnight. Store the vials in liquid nitrogen.
7. Use of cells immediately after thawing is feasible for some cell lines and is being further validated. Some cell lines may need to be passaged at least once after thawing prior to use in calcium flux assays. Cells should be resuspended in Chem-1 Plating Media for plating for calcium assay.
