Gene: HLA-C
Official Full Name: major histocompatibility complex, class I, Cprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: HLA-C 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 endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domain, 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. About 6000 HLA-C alleles have been described. The HLA system plays an important role in the occurrence and outcome of infectious diseases, including those caused by the malaria parasite, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The structural spike and the nucleocapsid proteins of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are reported to contain multiple Class I epitopes with predicted HLA restrictions. Individual HLA genetic variation may help explain different immune responses to a virus across a population.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

HLA-C Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models that provide a valuable platform for studying the immune response, transplantation biology, and various disease mechanisms. These cell lines are created through precise gene editing techniques, effectively removing the HLA-C gene, which plays a pivotal role in the presentation of antigens to immune cells. By eliminating the expression of HLA-C, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the specific contributions of this molecule to immune recognition and response, thereby elucidating its role in both normal physiology and disease states.
The primary function of HLA-C Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate research into the interactions between immune cells and transplanted tissues. This is achieved through an advanced mechanism that bypasses the typical immune response that recognizes tissues expressing HLA-C antigens. In this regard, these cell lines serve as essential tools for studying graft-versus-host disease, transplant rejection, and other immunological challenges that are often complicated by HLA compatibility.
The scientific importance of HLA-C Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in basic and translational research settings, where they aid in the development of novel immunotherapies, vaccine strategies, and understandings of autoimmune disorders. Researchers can utilize these models to screen drug candidates, advance gene-editing techniques, and investigate the molecular pathways that govern T-cell activation and tolerance.
Compared to traditional cell lines that express HLA-C, these knockout variants offer a unique advantage by providing a controlled environment to study immune responses devoid of this specific antigen. This specificity leads to better reproducibility and clarity in experimental results, making it easier for researchers to draw conclusions regarding immune mechanisms without confounding effects from HLA-C interactions.
Ultimately, HLA-C Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a valuable asset for researchers and clinicians alike, empowering them to unlock new insights into immune biology and disease processes. Our company, with its expertise in state-of-the-art genetic engineering and a commitment to research excellence, offers these innovative cell lines to support your groundbreaking discoveries in immunology and therapeutic development.
