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. CIITA (Class II Transactivator, also known as Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Transactivator) acts as a coactivator for MHC class II-specific gene expression. IFN-Ƴ induces CIITA gene expression via the JAK1 and STAT1 pathways. Defects in CIITA have been implicated in Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome (BLS), which is characterized by the absence of MHC class II transcription and severe immunodeficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bhp-cat-pill\"\u003eCAR-T\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth B2M (Beta-2-Microglobulin) and CIITA (Class II Transactivator) have been genetically removed from THP-1 cells using CRISPR\/Cas9 genome editing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"bhp-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHost Cell Line\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHP-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHost Species\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHuman monocyte, suspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransfection Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLentivirus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplied As\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach vial contains 2 x 10\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e cells in 1 ml of cell freezing medium (BPS Bioscience, #79796)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHarmonized Tariff Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3002-5900\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality Control \u0026amp; Validation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bhp-qc-badge\"\u003e✓ Mycoplasma-Tested\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-warning-box\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px\"\u003e⚠ Avoid freeze\/thaw cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRegulatory Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-regulatory-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-reg-item\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLicense Required\u003c\/strong\u003eYes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-reg-item\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiving Modified Organism\u003c\/strong\u003eYes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLicense Disclosure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-license-box\"\u003eThe CRISPR\/CAS9 technology is covered under numerous patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,697,359 and 8,771,945, as well as corresponding foreign patents applications, and patent rights.
