Why are HAP1 cells an ideal option for gene-edited cell line models?
Our HAP1 cell line database represents the synergy of two great systems: the amenability of HAP1 cells to gene editing and the precise gene editing capabilities of the CRISPR-Cas9 system. HAP1 is a near-haploid human cell line derived from the KBM-7 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line. KBM-7 cells were derived from a male patient but lack a Y chromosome, thus containing a single X chromosome when in the haploid state. HAP1 cells tend to spontaneously diploidize over time. Additional monitoring of ploidy status and QC is necessary when fully haploid cultures are required. We offer several options for HAP1-related parental cell lines, summarized below. For more details on how the HAP1 cell line was created, their full genotype, and the additional QC recommended for assessment of ploidy status please see Beigl et al.
See our HAP1 publication list to see how the cell line has been applied for a wide range of biological processes and assays, such as DNA damage repair pathway, stress responses, disease modeling as well as antibody validation.
