IL5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IL5

Official Full Name: interleukin 5provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. The encoded cytokine plays a major role in the regulation of eosinophil formation, maturation, recruitment and survival. The increased production of this cytokine may be related to pathogenesis of eosinophil-dependent inflammatory diseases. This cytokine functions by binding to its receptor, which is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). This gene is located on chromosome 5 within a cytokine gene cluster which includes interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2 . This gene, IL4, and IL13 may be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Background

IL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed for the study of interleukin-5 (IL-5) signaling pathways and their implications in various biological processes, particularly those associated with allergic reactions and asthma. These cell lines are genetically engineered to lack the IL-5 gene, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of eosinophil production, activation, and survival, making them invaluable for researchers focusing on immune responses and inflammatory diseases.

The primary mechanism of action for these cell lines involves the disruption of IL-5 signaling, allowing scientists to investigate the downstream effects of IL-5 deficiency on cellular behavior, gene expression, and cytokine production. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the role of IL-5 in eosinophil biology, explore alternative pathways compensating for this loss, and assess potential therapeutic interventions that target IL-5-related pathways.

From a scientific standpoint, the IL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer significant applications in both basic research and clinical settings—ranging from drug development to understanding the molecular basis of inflammatory diseases. Their use facilitates the identification of new therapeutic targets that can help mitigate eosinophil-related pathologies.

Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide unique advantages by enabling a clearer understanding of IL-5’s role in various contexts without the confounding influence of IL-5 expression. This specificity allows for more targeted research outcomes and the potential for greater translational impact in clinical applications.

For researchers and clinicians focused on immune modulation and allergic diseases, the IL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical asset in advancing their studies. The ability to accurately replicate and investigate the absence of IL-5 brings new dimensions to preclinical studies, fostering a deeper comprehension of disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.

Our company has extensive expertise in the development of innovative biological products tailored to meet the needs of the research community, ensuring that scientists have access to high-quality, rigorously validated cellular models that can propel their research forward.
