Overview
This product is a stable CRISPR knockout cell line in which ADRA1B has been disrupted in the (Human (H. sapiens)) background using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. It provides an isogenic model for loss-of-function studies of ADRA1B in peripheral blood tissue context. Cells are supplied frozen (1×10⁶ cells / 1.0 ml, BSL-II) and grow as suspension, round monolayers.
CRISPR Knockout Design
- Target gene: ADRA1B
- Knockout strategy: CRISPR-Cas9–mediated frameshift-inducing INDEL generation; confirmed by sanger sequencing of frameshift-inducing indels
- Design notes: This parental THP-1 cell line features a CRISPR/Cas9 mediated stable knockout of ADRA1B, which encodes the alpha-1B adrenergic receptor.
- Parental cell line: — Human (H. sapiens), peripheral blood origin
Gene Background
ADRA1B is a protein-coding gene. Its encoded protein participates in cellular processes relevant to the biological pathways associated with peripheral blood biology. For detailed gene function, pathway context, and disease associations, refer to the NCBI Gene and UniProt entries for ADRA1B.

Research Applications
- Validate ADRA1B knockout by Western blot or qPCR versus the isogenic parental line.
- Investigate loss-of-function phenotypes: proliferation, viability, morphology, or pathway activity changes.
- Screen drug candidates targeting pathways regulated by ADRA1B using this KO as an isogenic control.
- Perform rescue experiments by re-expressing wild-type ADRA1B in the knockout background.
- Conduct transcriptomic or proteomic profiling comparing KO versus parental cells.
Important Notes
- Add selection antibiotic to culture medium only after the first passage post-thaw to allow cells to recover.
- Cell viability upon thaw is warranted for 30 days following shipment when handled per abm guidelines.
- For laboratory research use only. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
- Thaw cells quickly in a 37°C water bath while agitating gently (maximum 2 minutes). The vial cap should be kept above the water level to minimize the risk of contamination.
- Decontaminate the vial by spraying and wiping the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. From this point onwards, all operations should be strictly carried out inside a biological safety cabinet using aseptic conditions.
- Transfer the cell suspension into a 15ml sterile conical tube containing 5ml of pre-warmed, complete growth media. Centrifuge cells at 125xg for 5-7 minutes.
- Aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet. Re-suspend the cell pellet in the recommended pre-warmed, complete growth media and dispense into a T25 culture flask.
- Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
- Simply add fresh complete media directly to the culture. Do not allow cell density to exceed 1x10⁶ cells/ml.
- Alternatively, replace complete growth media by centrifugation and re-suspend the cell pellet in fresh complete media, and add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels, as desired.
- Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
