Gene: IFNA1
Official Full Name: interferon alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded cytokine is a member of the type I interferon family that is produced in response to viral infection as a key part of the innate immune response with potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties. This cytokine, like other type I interferons, binds a plasma membrane receptor made of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 that is ubiquitously expressed, and thus is able to act on virtually all body cells. This cytokine is upregulated in preeclamptic placentas and is thought to be a mediator of preeclampsia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

IFNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models in which the interferon alpha 1 (IFNA1) gene has been specifically disrupted or knocked out. This innovative product is essential for studying the biological roles and mechanisms associated with the IFNA1 gene, particularly in the context of immune response and antiviral activity. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the consequences of IFNA1 loss in various biological settings, including gene expression profiles, signaling pathways, and cellular responses to viral infections.
The primary function of IFNA1 is to produce type I interferons, crucial for mediating antiviral responses and immune modulation. The knockout of this gene provides a unique opportunity to explore the implications of its absence, enabling researchers to delineate the signaling axes critical for enhancing antiviral immunity. In clinical settings, these cell lines can serve as vital tools for drug discovery, vaccine development, and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies targeting viral infections and immune-related diseases.
What sets IFNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other genetic models is their specificity and ease of use. These cell lines are developed under rigorous quality control measures, ensuring high fidelity and reproducibility in experiments. Furthermore, they are compatible with various assays, including proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine release studies, making them invaluable in fundamental and applied research.
For researchers and clinicians focused on unraveling the complexities of immune responses and developing new therapeutic modalities, IFNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a strategic advantage by providing a robust platform to investigate the pivotal roles of type I interferons. Our company prides itself on its expertise in producing high-quality, innovative biological research products, aimed at advancing scientific discovery and enhancing research outcomes.
