CD14 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CD14

Official Full Name: CD14 moleculeprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a surface antigen that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. It cooperates with other proteins to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and to viruses. This gene has been identified as a target candidate in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients to potentially lessen or inhibit a severe inflammatory response. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

CD14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant innovation in the field of cellular biology and immunology, specifically designed to facilitate the study of innate immune responses and monocyte activity. These cell lines are genetically engineered to have the CD14 gene inactivated, effectively eliminating the expression of the CD14 protein, a critical co-receptor that plays a pivotal role in the recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and other pathogen-associated molecular patterns. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can directly investigate the downstream signaling pathways and functional outcomes that occur when CD14 is absent.

The primary mechanism by which CD14 influences immune function is through its facilitation of monocyte activation and cytokine release. By dissecting the functional implications of CD14 interaction, these knockout cell lines enable unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of inflammation, infection response, and the modulation of immune tolerance. They are valuable tools in the pursuit of developing targeted therapies for various chronic inflammatory diseases, sepsis, and cancer, where the immune response plays a crucial role.

Compared to traditional cell lines that express CD14, the CD14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a clearer understanding of the specific contributions of CD14 to immune responses, free from confounding factors that may arise when the protein is present. Researchers and clinicians can leverage these lines to more accurately model human diseases and explore potential therapeutic interventions.

The value of CD14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research. They are indispensable in drug discovery, allowing for the development of novel immunomodulatory therapies tailored to target CD14 pathways, and consequently enhancing the efficacy of treatments while minimizing adverse effects.

Our company, recognized for its commitment to advancing biotechnological research, brings you these state-of-the-art CD14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines backed by rigorous quality control and validation processes.
