KIR2DS4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIR2DS4

Official Full Name: killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and short cytoplasmic tail 4 (gene/pseudogene)provided 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.

Background

KIR2DS4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the KIR2DS4 gene, a member of the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) family, involved in the modulation of immune responses. These cell lines serve as vital tools for exploring the role of KIR2DS4 in natural killer (NK) cell function and broader immunological processes. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, our knockout cell lines demonstrate an efficient and precise deletion of the target gene, enabling researchers to study the molecular and cellular consequences of KIR2DS4 loss.

The primary function of KIR2DS4 is to influence NK cell activity, particularly in recognizing and eliminating tumor cells. The absence of this gene allows for detailed investigations of its signaling pathways, interactions with ligands, and subsequent impacts on immune evasion mechanisms adopted by malignancies. In clinical research settings, understanding the role of KIR2DS4 can potentially lead to novel therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing NK cell responses in cancer immunotherapy.

Unique features of our KIR2DS4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include validated functionality through multiple assays, including cytotoxicity tests and cytokine release assays. Compared to conventional cell lines, these knockout models provide a more authentic evaluation of KIR2DS4's influence on NK cell biology, allowing researchers to glean insights that are directly translatable to in vivo conditions.

Given the growing interest in targeting immune checkpoints and bolstering immune responses against cancers, KIR2DS4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a robust asset for researchers and clinicians pursuing advancements in immunotherapy. They facilitate a deeper understanding of NK cell regulation, thus supporting the development of innovative treatment modalities.

With decades of experience and dedication to advancing biological research through high-quality cell lines, our company delivers exceptional products tailored to the specialized needs of scientists and healthcare professionals. We are committed to empowering breakthroughs in immuno-oncology and cellular biology through our precisely crafted models.
