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

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
