Obtaining high-quality KO cell lines and lysates that match specific experimental requirements can be technically challenging and time consuming, requiring months for transfection, clone isolation and screening work. Having a reliable, ready-to-use source of KO cell lines allows researchers to confidently progress target identification and validation without the need to first establish a KO cell line.

Abcam’s newly-launched collection provides the global scientific community with a wide range of KOs in commonly used immortalized cancer cell lines such as Hela and HEK293T. With an ever- expanding range of new targets and parental cell lines, selection and ordering is as easy as buying a reagent.

All KO cell lines are Sanger sequenced to confirm knockout, and many have additional Western blot data included. A wild-type positive control cell line is also available.

Abcam’s KO cell lines deliver:

• Immediate access to pre-validated CRISPR-Cas9-engineered KO cell lines derived from Hela and HEK293T
