For human p47<sup>phox</sup>-deficient chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) vector testing we generated a cellular model using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 to introduce a GT-dinucleotide deletion (ΔGT) mutation in p47<sup>phox</sup> encoding NCF1 gene in the human acute myeloid leukemia PLB-985 cell line.
To prove this hypothesis, the production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, an important proinflammatory cytokine, was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in wild-type and chronic granulomatous disease-mutant myelomonoblastic PLB-985 cells in their immature, granulocytic and monocytic/macrophage differentiated forms.
