Lymphoblastoid and Jurkat cell lines are useful surrogate in developing a CRISPR-Cas9 method to correct leukocyte adhesion deficiency genomic defect by Ahmad R. Ramadan, Ahmad R. Ramadan, Noureddine Ben Khalaf, Khaled Trabelsi, Halla Bakheit, Imen Ben-Mustapha, Imen Ben-Mustapha, Mohamed-Ridha Barbouche, M-Dahmani Fathallah

“…These mutations lead to the absence or deficiency of CD18/CD11a, b, and c heterodimers, crucial for leukocyte adhesion and immune function. CRISPR-Cas9 Gene editing technology represents a promising approach for correcting these genomic defects restore the stable expression of CD18 and reverse the disease.Methods: We developed a CRISPR-Cas9-based gene correction strategy using Jurkat cells and patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines as surrogates for hematopoietic progenitor cells. …”
