Human HEK293S GnT I-/- parental cell line was infected with recombinant lentivirus carrying the FUT8 gene in the pLV-CT vector to establish the Stable FUT8 Over-expressing HEK293S GnT I-/- Cell Line. FUT8 gene encodes for the fucosyltransferase 8 enzyme (alpha1,6-fucosyltransferase) which is involved with the transfer of fucose from GDP-fucose to N-linked type complex glycopeptides. It has been linked that FUT8 can independently fucosylate high mannose N-glycans without GnTI. Manipulated to over express FUT8, these cells can be utilized for studies relating to fucosylation and the involvement of the enzyme.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.
