Gene: CD40
Official Full Name: CD40 moleculeprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is a receptor on antigen-presenting cells of the immune system and is essential for mediating a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation. AT-hook transcription factor AKNA is reported to coordinately regulate the expression of this receptor and its ligand, which may be important for homotypic cell interactions. Adaptor protein TNFR2 interacts with this receptor and serves as a mediator of the signal transduction. The interaction of this receptor and its ligand is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. Mutations affecting this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

CD40 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models in which the CD40 gene has been knocked out or inactivated through advanced gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9. CD40, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, plays a pivotal role in immune regulation, B-cell activation, and cellular signaling pathways. By eliminating CD40 expression, these cell lines exhibit unique biological characteristics that enable researchers to investigate the mechanisms of immune responses, B-cell differentiation, and the pathogenesis of various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancers.
The fundamental mechanism behind the functionality of the CD40 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in the disruption of CD40 signaling pathways, which facilitates the study of immune dysregulation and the tumor microenvironment. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to explore the effects of CD40 on T-cell activation and the subsequent interactions between immune cells and tumor cells. The ability to create a controlled environment devoid of CD40 expression is invaluable for elucidating the roles of this receptor in both physiological and pathological contexts.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is significant, as they provide a reliable platform for targeted studies in immunology, oncology, and therapeutic development. Notably, they can be used to screen potential drugs that modulate immune responses, allowing for the identification of novel therapeutic strategies.
In comparison to traditional models, CD40 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer specific advantages, including enhanced experimental precision, reproducibility, and the ability to conduct mechanistic studies without the confounding effects of CD40 signaling. This specificity makes them an indispensable tool for researchers looking to dissect complex signaling pathways underpinning immune and inflammatory responses.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of CD40 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond experimental utility; they represent a step towards advancing personalized medicine by allowing for the exploration of targeted treatments in diseases associated with CD40 dysregulation.
