Gene: HLA-B
Official Full Name: major histocompatibility complex, class I, Bprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: HLA-B belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon 1 encodes the leader peptide, exon 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domains, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region and exons 6 and 7 encode the cytoplasmic tail. Polymorphisms within exon 2 and exon 3 are responsible for the peptide binding specificity of each class one molecule. Typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation. Hundreds of HLA-B alleles have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HLA-B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have had the HLA-B gene removed or disrupted through advanced gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying the implications of HLA-B, a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule, in immune responses and disease susceptibility. The absence of HLA-B allows for the observation of immune interactions and the evaluation of potential therapies in systems free from confounding factors related to this gene.
The key function of HLA-B Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to facilitate research into antigen presentation, T-cell activation, and responses to viral infections or transplantation immunology. By eliminating HLA-B expression, researchers can explore how T cells recognize and respond to peptide antigens presented by other MHC molecules, thereby gaining insights into the mechanisms of immune evasion by pathogens or tumors. These models are crucial in vaccine development, cancer immunotherapy, and autoimmune disease research, where understanding the role of HLA molecules is pivotal.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends to their applications in both basic and translational research. With the rise of personalized medicine, HLA-B's role in drug response and transplant compatibility underscores the value of these models in predicting patient outcomes and optimizing immunotherapies.
Compared to alternative models, HLA-B Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a precise and controlled environment for studying the specific contributions of HLA-B without the complexity introduced by other genetic backgrounds. Their knockout design eliminates variable expression levels of HLA-B, allowing for reproducible and interpretable results, thus enhancing experimental rigor.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the value of HLA-B Gene Knockout Cell Lines is evident in their ability to generate actionable insights into immune function and therapy development. These models not only streamline research processes but also foster innovations in understanding disease mechanisms and treatment strategies.
