IL15RA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IL15RA

Official Full Name: interleukin 15 receptor subunit alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytokine receptor that specifically binds interleukin 15 (IL15) with high affinity. The receptors of IL15 and IL2 share two subunits, IL2R beta and IL2R gamma. This forms the basis of many overlapping biological activities of IL15 and IL2. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally related to IL2R alpha, an additional IL2-specific alpha subunit necessary for high affinity IL2 binding. Unlike IL2RA, IL15RA is capable of binding IL15 with high affinity independent of other subunits, which suggests distinct roles between IL15 and IL2. This receptor is reported to enhance cell proliferation and expression of apoptosis inhibitor BCL2L1/BCL2-XL and BCL2. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been reported.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Background

IL15RA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the interleukin 15 receptor alpha (IL15RA) gene. This genetic modification enables comprehensive studies on the IL-15 signaling pathway, integral for understanding immune responses, particularly in the context of natural killer (NK) cell and CD8+ T cell activation and proliferation. By using CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome editing technologies, these cell lines provide a robust system for dissecting the roles of IL-15 in various physiological and pathological conditions.

The primary function of IL15RA involves binding interleukin-15 (IL-15), a cytokine crucial for the growth, survival, and differentiation of lymphocytes. The knockout of the IL15RA gene results in diminished IL-15 signaling, leading to the decreased proliferation and survival of lymphocytes. This mechanism not only aids in elucidating the contributions of IL-15 in immune regulation but also positions researchers to model diseases characterized by altered immune responses, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.

The scientific importance of IL15RA Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both research and clinical applications. In therapeutic contexts, they can serve as valuable tools for testing novel immunotherapies, including those targeting IL-15 itself, which has garnered attention for its potential to enhance anti-tumor immunity. With relevance to optimizing CAR-T cell therapies and investigating NK cell biology, these cell lines support advancements in personalized medicine and biopharmaceutical development.

Compared to traditional models that utilize wild-type cell lines, IL15RA knockout variants offer specificity and clarity in results, minimizing the confounding effects of IL-15 signaling. Furthermore, these cell lines can streamline experimental design through reproducibility, making them essential for high-throughput screening and drug discovery efforts.

For researchers and clinicians alike, investing in IL15RA Gene Knockout Cell Lines represents a strategic move to deepen their understanding of immune signaling and contribute to innovative therapeutic strategies. With a commitment to advancing the field of immunology, we pride ourselves on our expertise and the provision of high-quality, reliable biological products that empower scientific discovery and clinical innovation.
