KIR2DS5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIR2DS5

Official Full Name: killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, two Ig domains and short cytoplasmic tail 5provided 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

KIR2DS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to facilitate the study of the KIR2DS5 gene, which encodes for an inhibitory receptor on natural killer (NK) cells. By creating a knockout model, researchers can investigate the specific role of KIR2DS5 in immune response modulation and its implications in various diseases, particularly cancers and autoimmune disorders. This innovative product utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, resulting in a complete absence of the KIR2DS5 protein and enabling the exploration of its functional consequences in NK cell biology.

The primary function of KIR2DS5 involves the recognition of specific human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), which are crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and modulating NK cell activity. By disrupting this gene in a controlled cellular environment, scientists can elucidate how the absence of this receptor affects NK cell activation, cytotoxic response, and overall immune homeostasis. This can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying immune evasion in tumors and enhance our understanding of NK cell-related therapies.

The scientific importance of KIR2DS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both basic and translational research, where they serve as vital tools for developing cell-based therapies and immunotherapies targeting various malignancies. Moreover, their use in genetic studies can help identify potential biomarkers for personalized medicine approaches in cancer and autoimmunity.

Compared to conventional approaches for studying gene function, KIR2DS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a high degree of specificity and efficiency, minimizing off-target effects and allowing for rapid generation of useful data. These cell lines represent a unique opportunity to regenerate insights into NK cell activity without the confounding effects posed by wild-type receptors.

In choosing KIR2DS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians can expedite their investigative processes while ensuring robust and reproducible results. Our company prides itself on delivering cutting-edge genetic models supported by extensive expertise in cell line development and gene editing technologies, empowering scientists to push the boundaries of immunological research and therapeutic innovation.
