General description
The STR profile of this cell line matches that of its parental cell line ATCC® Catalog No. TIB-152. Jurkat T lymphocytes are a human, acute T cell lymphoma cell line isolated in the late 1970s from the peripheral blood of a young male patient suffering from T cell leukemia. The cells possess a pseudodiploid karyotype and have been characterized as expressing CD3 and, upon stimulation, interleukin-2.
Application
This product is a human Jurkat T-lymphocyte cell line in which a landing pad cassette has been integrated into the AAVS1 safe harbor locus using CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. The mKATE2 fluorescence gene was integrated following the EF1a promoter and flanked by unique Cre-lox sites. The design of this landing pad cassette allows for easy, fast, and affordable genetic modification using Cre recombinase. mKATE2 can easily be exchanged for a payload of the user′s choice using Cre recombinase and a targeting vector with appropriate lox sites. Cells can then be sorted via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for loss of mKATE2 expression as a surrogate for successful integration of the targeting vector. Approximately 7-10 days are required for loss of the mKATE2 signal in successfully targeted cells. See technical bulletin for detailed protocols.
Biochem/physiol Actions
These cells are a human, acute T cell lymphoma cell line isolated from the peripheral blood of a young male suffering from T cell leukemia. The cells possess a pseudodiploid karyotype, express CD3 and, upon stimulation, IL-2.
Features and Benefits
