Gene: B2m
Official Full Name: beta-2 microglobulinprovided by MGI
Gene Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including MHC class II protein complex binding activity; peptide antigen binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in learning or memory; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and sensory perception of smell. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of exogenous protein antigen via MHC class Ib, TAP-dependent; cellular response to iron(III) ion; and multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Used to study hemochromatosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthritis; immunodeficiency 43; and inflammatory bowel disease. Orthologous to human B2M (beta-2-microglobulin).

B2m Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular systems specifically designed to eliminate the expression of the beta-2-microglobulin (B2m) gene. This crucial gene encodes a component of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which play a vital role in immune response and cellular signaling. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can study the effects of B2m deficiency on a variety of biological processes, including immune evasion, tumor progression, and the interactions between immune cells and cancer.
The mechanisms underlying the function of B2m knockout cell lines hinge on the absence of surface MHC class I expression, which impairs the ability of T cells to recognize and respond to these cells. This characteristic allows for in-depth exploration of T cell biology, particularly in oncological research where immune evasion is a common hallmark of cancer progression. Researchers can use these cell lines to facilitate investigations into how MHC expression influences tumor immunogenicity and to evaluate potential immunotherapeutic approaches.
The scientific importance of B2m knockout cell lines cannot be overstated, as they provide critical insights into immune modulation and offer a valuable platform for developing and testing new therapeutic strategies. They are particularly beneficial in clinical research settings focused on cancer immunotherapy, transplant immunology, and autoimmune disease studies.
Compared to alternative cellular models, B2m knockout cell lines offer unmatched specificity for studying MHC class I-related pathways and immune responses. Their use can significantly streamline research processes, as they provide a controlled environment in which to isolate and study the pertinent biological interactions affected by B2m absence.
For researchers and clinicians, B2m Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a transformative tool in the landscape of immunological research. They empower the scientific community to unravel complex biological phenomena, thus advancing our understanding of immune response and paving the way for innovative therapeutic solutions.
