KIR3DS1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIR3DS1

Official Full Name: killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor, three Ig domains and short cytoplasmic tail 1provided 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

Background

KIR3DS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced biological models designed to facilitate the exploration of immune responses, particularly in the context of natural killer (NK) cell activity and their interactions with viral pathogens. These cell lines are engineered to lack the KIR3DS1 gene, which encodes a receptor pivotal for modulating NK cell functions. By creating a knockout model, researchers can dissect the contributions of this receptor to immune responses, enabling insights into its role in disease processes and therapeutic interventions.

The primary function of KIR3DS1 involves the inhibition and activation of NK cells upon recognizing certain ligands presented by target cells. In a typical immune response, KIR3DS1 associates with the engagement of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, influencing NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production. Utilizing our KIR3DS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can elucidate the pathways involved in NK cell regulation without the confounding variables introduced by the receptor's presence, facilitating clearer data surrounding NK cell-mediated immunity.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic and translational research. In a clinical context, they are invaluable for studying the implications of KIR3DS1 signaling in various diseases, including viral infections and cancer. Furthermore, these models can be leveraged for drug discovery efforts aimed at enhancing NK cell activity against tumors or modulating immune responses in viral infections.

Compared to alternative models, our KIR3DS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a definitive knockout approach rather than merely downregulating the gene expression, thus providing more reliable and reproducible data. This precision allows researchers to draw more accurate conclusions about the functional effects of the KIR3DS1 receptor in different experimental scenarios.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing immune therapies or understanding the complexities of NK cell biology, KIR3DS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential tool that fosters innovation and discovery. Our company boasts a robust portfolio of high-quality biological products, backed by years of expertise, ensuring that we provide exceptional resources for impactful scientific exploration.
