Overview

Ubigene gene knockout cell lines mediated by optimized CRISPR-Cas9 technology provide reliable in vitro models for investigating gene function, signaling pathways, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic targets.

BICD2 (BICD cargo adaptor 2) encodes a member of the Bicaudal-D protein family that functions as a cargo adaptor associated with dynein-mediated transport. It has been implicated in minus-end-directed movement along microtubules, supporting intracellular transport of cargo toward microtubule-organizing regions. BICD2 also serves as a phosphorylation target of NIMA-related kinase 8, indicating additional regulation through cellular signaling mechanisms.

BEAS-2B is an immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line established from normal bronchial epithelium obtained from non-cancerous individuals. The cells were immortalized using a replication-defective SV40/adenovirus 12 hybrid (Ad12SV40) and cloned. BEAS-2B cells express epithelial markers including keratins and SV40 T antigen and can undergo squamous differentiation in response to serum exposure. The cell line is widely used as a model for studying normal airway epithelial biology, respiratory infection mechanisms, epithelial differentiation, environmental toxicity, and carcinogenesis.

Each knockout cell line is validated by STR authentication, sterility testing (bacteria/fungi), and mycoplasma screening. Genotype is confirmed by two rounds of PCR and Sanger sequencing. Only clones that pass all QC criteria are released, ensuring reliable identity and performance for downstream applications.

KO Cell Construction Strategy

Adopting Red Cotton CRISPR Gene Editing Designer (www.rc-crispr.com), two sgRNAs targeting the BICD2 gene are designed to generate a knockout strategy. The two sgRNA sequences are subsequently cloned into the EZ-editor™ vector and introduced into BEAS-2B cells via electroporation or lentiviral transduction. Single-cell clones are then generated using the limiting dilution method. Genomic DNA from individual clones is subjected to nucleic acid lysis and PCR amplification using the EZ-editor™ Monoclone Genotype Validation Kit (Cat# YK-MV-1000). The edited loci are further verified by Sanger sequencing to confirm the genotype. After secondary validation and quality confirmation, BICD2 Knockout cell line (BEAS-2B) is expanded and cryopreserved for downstream applications.

Product Overview

BICD2 Knockout cell line (BEAS-2B)

The BICD2 Knockout cell line (BEAS-2B) is generated by targeted disruption of the BICD2 gene in BEAS-2B cells. This cell line is designed to investigate the role of BICD2 in cellular function and gene regulation, as well as its potential involvement in disease-related pathways.

Applications

For research use only. Not intended for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, clinical, or other applications.

Key Advantages

Easy to use

Cas9 cell lines in our cell bank can stably express Cas9 protein. Each Cas9 Stable Cell Line is easy to use and enables gene knockout simply by transfecting gRNA, while transfection of gRNA and donor DNA results in gene knock-in or point mutations

High-efficient KO

These Cas9 stable cell lines have been used to construct the KO cell lines for various genes, gene KO efficiency 5-10 times improved.

Curated cells

Selected cells, low passages, good cell condition, high activity, applicable for all kinds of gene-editing experiments.
