PVR Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PVR

Official Full Name: PVR cell adhesion moleculeprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The external domain mediates cell attachment to the extracellular matrix molecule vitronectin, while its intracellular domain interacts with the dynein light chain Tctex-1/DYNLT1. The gene is specific to the primate lineage, and serves as a cellular receptor for poliovirus in the first step of poliovirus replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Background

PVR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models created to study the function of the poliovirus receptor (PVR), which plays a crucial role in viral pathogenesis and immune response. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines have been designed to provide a precise and effective method for knocking out the PVR gene, allowing researchers to investigate the receptor's biological significance and its impact on cellular interactions with pathogens and other elements of the immune system.

The key functions of PVR Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie in their ability to mimic disease states and facilitate experiments that elucidate the mechanisms by which viruses, such as poliovirus, exploit host receptors for entry and replication. By effectively silencing the PVR gene, researchers can examine alterations in cellular processes, signaling pathways, and immune responses, contributing to a more thorough understanding of both the fundamental biology and potential therapeutic targets related to viral infections and immune modulation.

In terms of scientific importance, these cell lines serve not only as a valuable resource for fundamental research but also possess significant applications in drug discovery and vaccine development. By providing insight into receptor-ligand interactions and host-pathogen dynamics, the PVR knockout models can aid in identifying novel antiviral compounds and therapeutic strategies, potentially improving clinical outcomes for viral infections.

One of the distinguishing advantages of our PVR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference (RNAi). While RNAi can lead to off-target effects, our CRISPR-Cas9 derived cell lines offer a stable and permanent knockout, ensuring that researchers can obtain consistent and reproducible results across experiments. Furthermore, these cell lines come with robust technical support and comprehensive documentation, ensuring ease of use and integration into diverse experimental workflows.

The value of PVR Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends far beyond basic research; for clinicians and researchers alike, they present a powerful tool to advance the understanding of pathogen recognition and response, paving the way for impactful innovations in therapeutic interventions. With decades of experience in the field of genetic engineering and cellular biology, our company is committed to delivering high-quality products that empower scientific discovery and contribute to advancements in medical research.
