Gene: HLA-DRB5
Official Full Name: major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: HLA-DRB5 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]

HLA-DRB5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized research tools generated to provide insights into immune responses, specifically concerning the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system. The product features cell lines in which the HLA-DRB5 gene has been effectively disrupted or knocked out using advanced gene-editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 or similar methodologies. This strategic alteration allows researchers to investigate the functional role of HLA-DRB5 in antigen presentation and T-cell activation, essential processes in immunology and the understanding of autoimmune diseases.
These knockout cell lines possess crucial functions as they serve as models for studying the consequences of HLA-DRB5 deficiency in various biological contexts. By enabling the specific exploration of immune pathways, these cell lines facilitate research into autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, where aberrations in HLA genes are often implicated. Researchers can also utilize these models to evaluate the efficacy of new therapeutics targeting HLA-related pathways, contributing significantly to translational medicine efforts.
In comparison to traditional methods, such as the use of non-specific inhibitors or genetically unmodified cell lines, HLA-DRB5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide an unparalleled specificity that enhances experimental accuracy. Moreover, they allow for reproducible results, enabling researchers to confidently establish correlations between HLA-DRB5 gene function and immune responses.
The unique selling points of this product lie in its capacity to aid in the development of personalized medicine approaches and potential therapeutic strategies for HLA-related diseases. By leveraging the specialized features of these knockout cell lines, researchers and clinicians can drive forward their investigations to uncover new treatment paradigms.
