Description

Description générale

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Charcot or Lou Gehrig s disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting in loss of motor control. ALS usually leads to mortality within 5 years of symptom onset.1 A subset of ALS cases are familial and lin

Application

• Each vial contains >1X10⁶ viable cells.
• Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from mouse, rat, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and Non-human Primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination Clear panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services
• Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Charcot or Lou Gehrig′s disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting in loss of motor control. ALS usually leads to mortality within 5 years of symptom onset.1 A subset of ALS cases are familial and linked to mutations in a handful of genes, including FUS (fused in sarcoma). FUS is a ribonucleotide binding protein that plays a role in RNA metabolism and is implicated in DNA repair pathways.2 Probing the effects of FUS point mutations is contributing to our understanding of the cellular mechanisms of ALS and the connections between genetic repair and neurodegeneration.

Source
HEK293 FUS KO cell line was derived from CRISPR-edited HEK293 cells.2 The parental HEK293 cell line was derived from cells from an aborted female fetus transfected with sheared adenovirus DNA.3

Caractéristiques et avantages

The HEK293 FUS knockout cell line was derived via CRISPR/Cas9-editing of HEK293 cells. Experimental validation of this line confirmed deletion of FUS with no off-target effects on expression of related proteins.2 This FUS knockout cell line permits direct study of the effects of FUS mutations via transfection of FUS variants. The HEK293 FUS knockout cell line represents a valuable system for the investigation of familial ALS in a robust cellular model.

Stockage et stabilité

Cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
