IFI16 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IFI16

Official Full Name: interferon gamma inducible protein 16provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the HIN-200 (hematopoietic interferon-inducible nuclear antigens with 200 amino acid repeats) family of cytokines. The encoded protein contains domains involved in DNA binding, transcriptional regulation, and protein-protein interactions. The protein localizes to the nucleoplasm and nucleoli, and interacts with p53 and retinoblastoma-1. It modulates p53 function, and inhibits cell growth in the Ras/Raf signaling pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

Background

IFI16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that provide researchers with a powerful tool for investigating the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of the IFI16 gene. This gene is known to play a critical role in the immune response to viral infections and the maintenance of genomic integrity. By employing advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these knockout cell lines have been meticulously developed to effectively disable the expression of IFI16, permitting comprehensive studies into its role in immune signaling pathways, apoptosis, and cellular response to stress.

The primary function of IFI16 is linked to its ability to recognize foreign DNA within the cytoplasm and nucleus, activating innate immune responses, particularly in the context of viral infections. Through its mechanism of action, it modulates pathways such as the interferon response and apoptosis, making it an important target for research on antiviral therapies and cancer biology. The ability to observe phenotypic changes in the absence of IFI16 provides critical insights that would not be possible in wild-type models.

The scientific significance of these knockout cell lines extends to diverse research fields, including virology, immunology, and cancer research. They offer unparalleled opportunities for elucidating the specific pathways regulated by IFI16, aiding in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, these cell lines can assist in identifying potential biomarkers for diseases associated with dysregulated immune responses.

Compared to traditional methods of gene manipulation, such as RNA interference, IFI16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more stable and long-lasting modification, eliminating the transient effects often observed with silencing techniques. This advance allows for more reliable data generation, reproducibility, and enhanced experimental accuracy, making them indispensable assets for any research laboratory focused on gene function analysis.

Researchers and clinicians can greatly benefit from the robust performance and versatility of these knockout cell lines. As they are derived from well-characterized parent cell lines, they enable consistent experimental replicability and facilitate comparative studies across different biological contexts. Our commitment to high-quality biological products is exemplified by the development of IFI16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, backed by extensive expertise in molecular biology and cell line engineering. These innovative tools are designed to empower the scientific community in uncovering new horizons in gene function research and therapeutic development.
