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.

THP-1 is a human monocytic leukemia cell line established from the peripheral blood of a 1-year-old male patient with acute monocytic leukemia at relapse. The cells exhibit monocytic characteristics, including expression of Fc and complement receptors, lysozyme production, esterase activity, and phagocytic capacity. THP-1 cells can be differentiated into macrophage-like cells under appropriate stimulation and are widely used as a model for studying monocyte/macrophage biology, immune responses, inflammation, differentiation, and host–pathogen interactions.

Before delivery, each clone is authenticated by STR, tested for sterility and mycoplasma, and genotype‑verified by two‑round PCR‑sequencing. Comprehensive QC data accompany every shipment to support reproducible research.

KO Cell Construction Strategy

Adopting Red Cotton CRISPR Gene Editing Designer (www.rc-crispr.com), two sgRNAs targeting the PLIN2 gene are designed to generate a knockout strategy. The two sgRNA sequences are subsequently cloned into the EZ-editor™ vector and introduced into THP-1 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, PLIN2 Knockout cell line (THP-1) is expanded and cryopreserved for downstream applications.

Product Overview

PLIN2 Knockout cell line (THP-1)

The PLIN2 Knockout cell line (THP-1) is generated by targeted disruption of the PLIN2 gene in THP-1 cells. This cell line is designed to investigate the role of PLIN2 in cellular function and gene regulation, as well as its potential involvement in disease-related pathways.

Quality Control

All KO cell products are tested and confirmed to be free of bacterial, viral, mycoplasma contamination, and other adventitious agents.

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.
