HLA-DRB4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HLA-DRB4

Official Full Name: major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: HLA-DRB4 belongs to the HLA class II beta chain paralogues. This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DRA) and a beta (DRB) chain, both anchored in the membrane. It plays a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells. The beta chain is approximately 26-28 kDa and its gene contains 6 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the two extracellular domains, exon 4 encodes the transmembrane domain and exon 5 encodes the cytoplasmic tail. Within the DR molecule the beta chain contains all the polymorphisms specifying the peptide binding specificities. Typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation. There are multiple pseudogenes of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2020]

Background

HLA-DRB4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to feature a targeted deletion of the HLA-DRB4 gene, a critical component of the human Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHC II) system. These cell lines provide a valuable tool for studying the role of HLA-DRB4 in immune response and disease, particularly in the context of autoimmune disorders, infections, and transplant immunology. By completely knocking out the gene, researchers can investigate how the absence of this molecule affects antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation.

The primary mechanism underlying the utility of HLA-DRB4 knockout cell lines is the ability to mimic pathological conditions where the HLA-DRB4 gene is either mutated or not expressed. This allows researchers to elucidate the implications of HLA-DRB4 in T-cell responses, evaluate therapeutic targets, and assess the immunogenicity of various antigens in a controlled environment. Furthermore, these cell lines are instrumental in the development of novel immunotherapies, including CAR-T and monoclonal antibody approaches, which can enhance the understanding of adaptive and innate immunity.

The scientific importance of HLA-DRB4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, as they help bridge gaps in knowledge regarding autoimmune mechanisms and facilitate drug discovery efforts. Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transgenic organisms, these knockout lines offer improved specificity in studying targeted genetic functions without the confounding variables typically associated with whole organisms. Researchers will appreciate the reproducibility of results and the clarity in interpretation when using these specialized cell lines.

Moreover, the value of the HLA-DRB4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they are crucial for clinicians interested in personalized medicine approaches. Understanding the role of specific HLA alleles in patient responses to therapies and their susceptibility to diseases enhances clinical outcomes.
