Cas9-Expressing MCF7 Cell Pool

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Description: Cas9 (Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR associated protein 9) is an endonuclease enzyme that, when recruited to a specific DNA sequence by the sgRNA (single guide RNA), introduces a double stranded break into the DNA. This double stranded break is repaired in mammalian cells either through Non-Homologous End Joining or Homologous Recombination. Non-Homologous End Joining often results in the deletion or insertion of several base pairs at the cut site, which, when resulting in a frameshift, causes the functional inactivation of the targeted gene. Cas9-expressing MCF7 cells can be transduced or electroporated with sgRNA targeting a gene of interest to quickly generate knock-out cell pools or cell lines.

Host Cell Line: MCF7

Mycoplasma Testing: This cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert™ Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, #LT07-118) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma contamination. MycoAlert Assay Control Set (Lonza, #LT07-518) was used as a positive control.

Storage Stability: Cells will arrive upon 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: 2 vials of frozen cell pools. Each vial contains 2 x 10⁶ cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: BSL-1
