KIR2DS2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIR2DS2

Official Full Name: killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and short cytoplasmic tail 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed by natural killer cells and subsets of T cells. The KIR genes are polymorphic and highly homologous and they are found in a cluster on chromosome 19q13.4 within the 1 Mb leukocyte receptor complex (LRC). The gene content of the KIR gene cluster varies among haplotypes, although several "framework" genes are found in all haplotypes (KIR3DL3, KIR3DP1, KIR3DL4, KIR3DL2). The KIR proteins are classified by the number of extracellular immunoglobulin domains (2D or 3D) and by whether they have a long (L) or short (S) cytoplasmic domain. KIR proteins with the long cytoplasmic domain transduce inhibitory signals upon ligand binding via an immune tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), while KIR proteins with the short cytoplasmic domain lack the ITIM motif and instead associate with the TYRO protein tyrosine kinase binding protein to transduce activating signals. The ligands for several KIR proteins are subsets of HLA class I molecules; thus, KIR proteins are thought to play an important role in regulation of the immune response. This gene represents a haplotype-specific family member that encodes a protein with a short cytoplasmic tail. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Background

KIR2DS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to specifically disable the KIR2DS2 gene, a member of the Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) family involved in the immune response. These cell lines are pivotal tools for studying the functional role of the KIR2DS2 receptor in natural killer (NK) cell behavior and adaptive immunity. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate how the absence of KIR2DS2 affects NK cell activation, cytotoxicity, and interactions with target cells, providing insights that are critical in understanding immune evasion by tumors or pathogens.

This product utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allowing for precise and efficient gene editing, which results in a complete and stable knockout of the KIR2DS2 gene. The deactivation of this receptor can significantly influence downstream signaling pathways, offering researchers a model to dissect cellular responses without confounding the effects of KIR2DS2 signaling. Such models are critical in studying various oncological and infectious diseases.

The scientific importance of KIR2DS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential applications in both basic and applied biomedical research. In clinical settings, understanding NK cell activity can lead to advancements in immunotherapy, especially for treating cancers where KIR receptors play a role in immune evasion. Furthermore, these cell lines can help in developing novel therapeutics that enhance NK cell function.

Compared to traditional gene-editing methods, which can be inefficient and time-consuming, KIR2DS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a streamlined approach to functional studies, reducing the time from experimentation to results. Their robust nature ensures consistency in experimental outcomes, making them a reliable choice for labs focused on immunological research.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing immunological therapies and studying NK cell dynamics, KIR2DS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable asset. Leveraging our extensive expertise in genetic engineering and immunology, our company is committed to providing high-quality biological products that empower scientists to achieve their research objectives effectively.
