HLA-DMA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HLA-DMA

Official Full Name: major histocompatibility complex, class II, DM alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: HLA-DMA belongs to the HLA class II alpha chain paralogues. This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DMA) and a beta chain (DMB), both anchored in the membrane. It is located in intracellular vesicles. DM plays a central role in the peptide loading of MHC class II molecules by helping to release the CLIP molecule from the peptide binding site. Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (APC: B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages). The alpha chain is approximately 33-35 kDa and its gene contains 5 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the two extracellular domains, exon 4 encodes the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic tail. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

HLA-DMA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have had the HLA-DMA gene inactivated, creating an invaluable tool for researchers studying the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen presentation pathway. HLA-DMA encodes a critical protein that plays a vital role in the regulation of peptide loading on MHC class II molecules, thereby influencing immune responses. By knocking out this gene, researchers can dissect the role of HLA-DMA in immune function and its implications in various disease states.

These cell lines operate by providing a controlled environment to examine the effects of HLA-DMA absence on MHC class II assembly and peptide presentation. This allows for a clearer understanding of how antigen presentation influences T cell activation and immune regulation. Given the significance of HLA-DMA in autoimmune diseases, cancer immunotherapy, and transplant biology, these cell lines stand at the forefront of research pushing the boundaries of immunological understanding.

The scientific importance of HLA-DMA Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be understated, as they enable groundbreaking studies in both research and clinical settings, including investigations into immunogenetics, vaccine design, and the mechanisms underlying transplant rejection. Compared to existing alternatives, these knockout cell lines provide a more precise model for evaluating HLA-DMA function, as their genetic modifications allow for the elimination of confounding factors that may arise from using wild-type cell models.

For researchers and clinicians alike, HLA-DMA Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a unique asset, enhancing experimental rigor and paving the way for innovations in therapeutic strategies. Leveraging our extensive experience in genetic engineering and cell line development, our company is dedicated to providing high-quality biological research tools that empower scientists to advance their research and clinical applications effectively.
