B2M (Beta-2-Microglobulin) has been genetically removed by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing from Jurkat cells.
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Supplied as Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of cell freezing medium (Biohippo, #79796)
Background
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. The protein forms amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. A mutation in this gene drives hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia. 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.
Application
Study the consequences of B2M knock-down Study T cell activation, antigen presentation, and immune responses.
