Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers THP-1-B2M KO cell line which the B2M gene was knocked out in THP-1 cells.
Description
THP-1-B2M KO cell line is a type of THP-1 cell line that has been genetically modified to knockout the expression of the beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) gene. B2M is a protein that is essential for the proper functioning of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which play a crucial role in antigen presentation and immune response. This cell line can be a valuable tool for studying the mechanisms underlying immunodeficiency disorders and for developing new therapeutic strategies for such conditions.

Background
The B2M gene, also known as beta-2 microglobulin, is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein that is found on the surface of all cells in the body. This protein is important for the immune system, as it plays a role in presenting antigens to immune cells to help the body identify foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. Mutations in the B2M gene can lead to various health conditions, including certain types of cancer and autoimmune disorders.
