Product description: MEF ULK1 ULK2 DKO (SIM) is a spontaneously immortalised cell line. This mouse embryonic fibroblast Ulk1/Ulk2 double knock-out cell line is from an embryo with a mixed genetic background (Blk6/129 Agouti).The MEF ULK1 ULK2 DKO (SIM) cell line provides a tool for the study of Ulk1 and Ulk2 and of autophagy. Autophagy has been implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration and immune-related disorders. Discover our group of mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines for autophagy research. 
Alternate name: MEF Ulk1 -/- Ulk2 -/- (DKO) (SIM)
Conditional: Yes
Production details: Primary embryonic fibroblasts were isolated from the embryos of a pregnant female Ulk1-/- Ulk2-/+ mouse at day 13 p.c. The embryos were genotyped to identify those that were Ulk1 -/- Ulk2 -/- and the MEFs that were isolated and cultured were immortalised by SIM using a standard serial passaging protocol.
