Applications: Study the consequences of B2M knock-downStudy T cell activation, antigen presentation, and immune responses
Background: THP-1 cells are monocytes, derived from an acute monocytic leukemia patient. Beta-2-Microglobulin is a required component of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class 1 molecules, which present peptide fragments from within the cell to cytotoxic T cells as part of the adaptive immune system. B2M plays an essential role both in governing MHC class I molecule stability and in promoting antigen binding and presenting the antigen to CD3/TCR complex of CD8+ T cells.
Description: B2M (Beta-2-Microglobulin) has been genetically removed by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing from THP-1 cells.
Host Cell Line: THP-1, monocyte, suspension
Mycoplasma Testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Storage Stability: Cells are shipped in dry ice and should immediately be thawed or stored in liquid nitrogen upon receipt. Do not use a -80°C freezer for long term storage.
Supplied As: Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of cell freezing medium (BPS Bioscience, #79796)
Uniprot: P61769
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
