B-LCL-CDG2 Cells

B-LCL-CDG2 is an EBV-transformed B lymphocyte cell line derived from a young girl suffering from PMM2-CDG. PMM2-CDG is a rare inborn error of metabolism, which results in defective synthesis of glycosylated oligosaccharide chains of many tissue and blood glycoproteins and/or glycosphingolipids. The primary cause of defective glycosylation is based on mutations in the enzyme phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2). There are two distinct mutations for the PMM2 gene. Rare diseases - cell lines, Peripheral blood, Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, Growth Conditions: Suspension, Cluster, Biosafety level: BSL 2
