Gene: IL18BP
Official Full Name: interleukin 18 binding proteinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene functions as an inhibitor of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL18. It binds IL18, prevents the binding of IL18 to its receptor, and thus inhibits IL18-induced IFN-gamma production, resulting in reduced T-helper type 1 immune responses. This protein is constitutively expressed and secreted in mononuclear cells. Elevated level of this protein is detected in the intestinal tissues of patients with Crohn's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

IL18BP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines designed to lack the interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a soluble receptor that plays a critical role in modulating the immune response. By creating these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the biological functions of IL-18BP, including its implications in inflammatory diseases, immune regulation, and tumor microenvironments. The deletion of IL-18BP in these cell lines enables a clearer understanding of its signaling pathways and downstream effects on immune cell activation and proliferation.
The primary function of IL-18BP is to bind to interleukin-18 (IL-18), thereby inhibiting IL-18 signaling. This is significant in the context of various pathologies, including autoimmune disorders and cancer, where IL-18 can drive inflammatory responses. The knockout cell lines allow researchers to simulate conditions of IL-18 overactivity, furnishing insights into therapeutic interventions targeting the IL-18/IL-18BP axis. Additionally, these cell lines can be utilized in vaccine development studies, where assessing the role of IL-18 in enhancing immune responses is crucial.
One of the major advantages of using IL18BP Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their versatility and specificity. Unlike other models that might exhibit compensatory mechanisms or background effects due to the presence of other modulatory factors, these knockout lines provide a clean and precise experimental setting. This specificity enhances the reproducibility of experiments and increases the reliability of results when investigating IL-18-related pathways.
IL18BP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable tools for researchers and clinicians focused on immunology, oncology, and therapeutic development. By utilizing these cell lines, they can accelerate the pace of discovery regarding how IL-18 influences various biological processes. The insights gained can lead to novel therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating immune responses in disease states.
