Gene: IL12A
Official Full Name: interleukin 12Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. The cytokine is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 35-kD subunit encoded by this gene, and a 40-kD subunit that is a member of the cytokine receptor family. This cytokine is required for the T-cell-independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma, and is important for the differentiation of both Th1 and Th2 cells. The responses of lymphocytes to this cytokine are mediated by the activator of transcription protein STAT4. Nitric oxide synthase 2A (NOS2A/NOS2) is found to be required for the signaling process of this cytokine in innate immunity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

IL12A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have been selectively modified to disable the IL12A gene, which encodes for the p35 subunit of interleukin-12 (IL-12), a crucial cytokine involved in the regulation of immune responses. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying the functional implications of IL-12 in immune signaling pathways, inflammation, and various disease states, including autoimmune disorders and cancer.
The mechanism of action for IL12A knockout cell lines is rooted in the absence of IL-12 signaling, which allows researchers to dissect the roles of this cytokine in cell proliferation, differentiation, and activation of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. The targeted knockout of the IL12A gene facilitates in-depth investigations into cytokine networks, enabling a better understanding of immune modulation and disease pathology. This model can effectively mimic the conditions of diseases characterized by altered IL-12 levels, thereby providing valuable insights into the therapeutic targets for various immunotherapies.
The scientific importance of having access to IL12A gene knockout cell lines cannot be overstated. These models are paramount in preclinical research, particularly in studying immune responses in the context of infectious diseases and therapeutic interventions such as cancer immunotherapy. They outperform traditional models due to their ability to provide precise insights into immune mechanisms without the confounding effects of IL-12 signaling.
Unique advantages of our IL12A knockout cell lines include validated genome editing techniques ensuring high-specificity gene disruption, stable expression profiles, and an array of assays available for downstream applications. These models are designed to provide reproducible and reliable results, which are critical for both basic and translational research.
For researchers and clinicians striving for a deeper understanding of immune dynamics, these cell lines represent an invaluable asset. They empower users to elucidate the role of IL-12 in various contexts, therefore enhancing the potential for developing targeted therapies.
