CCL2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CCL2

Official Full Name: C-C motif chemokine ligand 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is one of several cytokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines are a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine is a member of the CC subfamily which is characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils but not for neutrophils or eosinophils. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. It binds to chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR4. Elevated expression of the encoded protein is associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

CCL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the CCL2 gene, also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), has been selectively disrupted. CCL2 is a pivotal chemokine that plays a vital role in the recruitment of monocytes and memory T cells to sites of inflammation. These knockout cell lines serve as a powerful tool for studying the biological functions and signaling pathways mediated by CCL2, enabling researchers to dissect the molecular mechanisms of immune response, tissue homeostasis, and a variety of pathophysiological conditions.

The key functions of the CCL2 gene knockout involves the absence of its encoded protein, which leads to a decreased chemotactic response in monocytes and other immune cells. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can assess the effects of CCL2 disruption on inflammation, cancer metastasis, and various autoimmune diseases. This is accomplished through in vitro assays that measure cell migration, adhesion, and cytokine production, providing insights into how alterations in CCL2 expression can impact disease progression and therapeutic response.

The scientific importance of CCL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, as they have wide-ranging applications in both fundamental research and clinical settings. They are particularly valuable for preclinical drug testing and the validation of CCL2 as a therapeutic target in diseases like cancer and chronic inflammatory disorders. Moreover, these cell lines facilitate the understanding of immune responses in a controlled environment, making them indispensable for the development of novel immunotherapies and targeted interventions.

One of the significant advantages of our CCL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their robustness and reproducibility, which are critical for ensuring experimental consistency and reliability. Unlike other methods of gene disruption, such as RNA interference, knockout cell lines provide a permanent genetic alteration, allowing for long-term studies without the variability associated with transient expression systems. Furthermore, our product undergoes stringent quality control measures to ensure high efficiency in knockout generation, simplifying experimental design for users.

For researchers, clinicians, and biotechnology firms, the CCL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a highly effective tool for advancing our understanding of immune regulation and tissue responses. The ability to study CCL2’s role in inflammation and immunity can lead to breakthrough discoveries and improved therapeutic strategies.

Our company prides itself on expertise in genetic engineering and production of high-quality biological research tools, ensuring that our CCL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines meet the highest standards of scientific rigor and functionality. With our commitment to innovation and excellence, we aim to empower the scientific community to explore new frontiers in health and disease.
