Corning® TransportoCells™
Cryopreserved Transporter Cells
Instructions for Use
SLC transporters are multi-transmembrane-bound proteins abundantly expressed in tissues important for drug
disposition and elimination, such as liver and kidney, where they play a key role in facilitating the uptake of a variety of
solutes including nutrients, environmental toxins, drugs, and other xenobiotics. It is now well recognized that alteration
of certain SLC transporter functions by factors such as genetic polymorphism or drug-drug interactions can lead to
altered pharmacokinetics and, potentially, toxicity. The FDA and EMA drug-drug interactions (DDI) guidance
documents recommend evaluating specific SLC transporters for their potential for DDI.
Corning® TransportoCells™ cryopreserved transporter cells are mammalian cells (HEK-293) transiently overexpressing a single human SLC transporter protein. The product is a convenient, easy to use consumable for
measuring drug uptake by SLC transporters. Kinetic analyses of drug uptake, as well as inhibition studies for DDI, are
easily carried out using a variety of detection systems including scintillation counting for radiolabelled compounds,
mass spectrometry for cold compounds, and fluorescence detection for fluorogenic compounds. The
TransportoCells™ product portfolio includes the following SLC transporters: Organic Anion-transporting Polypeptide
1B1, 1B3 2B1, and 1A2 (OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, and OATP1A2), Organic Anion Transporters 1 and 3
(OAT1 and OAT3), Organic Cation Transporters (OCT1 and OCT2), Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion Transporters
(MATE1 and MATE2-K), Peptide Transporter 1 and 2 (PEPT1 and PEPT2) and Na+-Taurocholate Co-transporting
polypeptide (NTCP)
This Instruction for Use describes the procedure for performing an uptake assay with the Corning TransportoCells™
products. One vial contains 10 million viable cells for one 24-well plate, one 48-well plate, or one 96-well microplate
when the procedure is followed.

3. Remove the cells from the liquid nitrogen.
o
4. Thaw the cryovials in a 37 C water bath for 2 minutes by gently moving the vial back and forth in the
water bath to facilitate heat transfer, until there is a small ball of frozen cells remaining in the vial.
5. Transfer the thawed cells into the 20 mL of pre-aliquot plating media. Centrifuge at 100 g for 10
minutes.
6. Aspirate the supernatant carefully without disturbing cell pellet and resuspend cells in 5 mL of plating
media.
7. Take cell samples and mix well with Trypan Blue (or other cell counting dye) by vortexing for 5 to 10
seconds. Then count the cells and determine the viability and viable cell number.
8. Add the plating media to the cell suspension to achieve the final viable cell concentration of 1 x 106
cells per mL.
9. For a 24-well plate, add 400 µL of cell suspension into each well for a seeding density of 400K cells
per well. A sample plate layout is shown in Appendix I. Gently rock the plate in different directions
(i.e., front to back, right to left and across the diagonals) to evenly distribute the cells.
10. For a 96-well microplate, add 100 µL of cell suspension into each well for a seeding density of 100K
cells per well. A sample plate layout is shown in Appendix I. Gently rock the plate in different
directions (i.e., front to back, right to left and across the diagonals) to evenly distribute the cells.
11. Incubate the plate at 37oC with 8% CO2 with low or no humidity.
12. After incubation for 3 to 4 hours, re-feed the cells with fresh plating media or plating media
supplemented with sodium butyrate as suggested below. Aspirate the plating media and replace with
400 µL of pre-warmed media for a 24-well plate or 150 µL for a 96-well microplate.
NOTE: OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP1A2, MATEs, PEPTs, and NTCP require sodium butyrate for
optimal uptake activity.
For these TransportoCells products and corresponding control cells, re-feed the cells with plating
media supplemented with 2 mM sodium butyrate at Step 12 (i.e., add 40 µL of 500 mM sodium
butyrate solution into 10 mL of plating media).
OATP2B1, OATs, and OCTs do not need sodium butyrate treatment.
o
13. Incubate the cells overnight at 37 C with 8% CO2 with low or no humidity.

Appendix III: TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Low viability after thawing
Cause
Cells are counted incorrectly
Solution
Make sure the cell suspension is homogeneous. Take another sample
and count again.
Cells are not stored correctly
Re-order the cells and store in liquid nitrogen freezer immediately upon
receiving. Keep in liquid nitrogen until thawing.
Cells are thawed improperly
Cells should be thawed quickly in a 37 C water bath. Carefully follow
procedure in the Instruction for thawing cells.
Use plating media listed in the “Instruction for Use” to thaw and plate the
cells. No extra purification step is needed prior to seeding.
Plating medium is not correct
o
NOTE: The products are tested to have equal or greater than 80% post-thaw viability. In the case of improper handling, continue to plate and assay if the viability is 70% and <80%. Discontinue
the experiment if the viability is below 70%. Our data indicate that cells with 70% to 80% viability perform reasonably well in the uptake assay but with compromised 24-hour cell confluency.
Low cell recovery after thawing
Lose cells during aspiration
Cell suspension is not homogeneous
Cell clumps are not dissociated
completely during re-suspension
Carefully aspirate the supernatant and leave 0.5 ml to 1.0 mL
supernatant during aspiration.
Re-suspend the cell pellet thoroughly and re-count.
The clumps with 2 to 5 cells are typically observed during the thawing
process. If clumps with more than 10 cells are observed, re-suspend the
cell suspension five more times. Take a small amount of cells out for cell
counting. Vortex the cells for 10 seconds to ensure all large cell clumps
are dissociated before adding cell counting dye.
NOTE: One vial of Corning® TransportoCells™ product provides a minimum of 10 million viable cells following the thawing procedure in the “Instruction for Use.” Typically 10 to 15 million viable
cells can be obtained per vial. If the recovery per vial is more than 15 million, re-check the cell counting to ensure proper seeding density.
Cells form a sparse and patchy
monolayer with sparse area
Low uptake activity/uptake ratio
Cells are not evenly distributed at
plating step
Low seeding density
Addition of sodium butyrate may impact
the cell attachment slightly
Cells are cultured for more than 48
hours
Assay condition is not optimal
Inconsistent uptake activity/uptake ratio
Cells are washed off during assay
Inconsistent assay materials
Follow the instruction for plating, and gently shake the plates several
times to ensure the cells evenly distributed.
Check the cell counting and plate the cells at the recommended seeding
density in the “Instruction for Use.”
Sodium butyrate can be omitted for improved cell confluence but activity
will be reduced.
Ideally use the cells within 24 to 48 hours after plating. Transporter
protein expression and activity start to diminish quickly 48 hours postplating, even more after subculturing the cells.
Check the condition of substrate. Follow the “Instruction for Use” to
perform uptake assay.
Cell monolayer is too confluent. Check the cell counting to ensure the
correct seeding density or optimize the seeding density.
Check the humidity level of cell culture incubator; remove the water pan
to lower the humidity.
Use the recommended FBS, do not heat inactivate the serum.
Check the plates before assay and ensure there is no significant media
evaporation; place the plates at the center of the shelf, avoid to be too
close to the wall of the incubator.
Carefully wash and aspirate without disrupting the cell monolayer.
Measure protein content per sample well to normalize the result.
Use the assay materials from the same supplier, particularly the
radiolabeled probe substrates.
