TAP2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TAP2

Official Full Name: transporter 2, ATP binding cassette subfamily B memberprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in antigen presentation. This protein forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in this gene may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces products which differ in peptide selectivity and level of restoration of surface expression of MHC class I molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Background

TAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to lack the TAP2 (Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing 2) gene, which plays a crucial role in the antigen presentation pathway. By providing a system devoid of TAP2 expression, these cell lines serve as pivotal tools for studying the association between TAP2 and immune response, particularly in the context of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecule functionality and the presentation of endogenous antigens.

The primary mechanism of TAP2 involves the transport of peptides from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum, a necessary step for MHC class I molecules to present antigens to CD8+ T lymphocytes. By utilizing TAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can investigate the effects of peptide loading defects on immune status and function, thus revealing insights into various immunological disorders and therapeutic targets. This is extraordinarily valuable in research settings focused on vaccine development, tumor immunology, and autoimmune diseases.

Scientific applications of these knockout cell lines extend into both basic research and clinical settings, including the evaluation of peptide-based vaccines, understanding immune escape mechanisms in tumors, and evaluating the role of TAP2 in infections. When combined with high-throughput screening methods, these cell lines can accelerate the discovery of novel immunomodulatory therapies.

What sets TAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from conventional cell lines is their rigorously validated genetic integrity and consistent performance across experiments. Unlike alternatives that may provide ambiguous or variable results, our cell lines ensure high reproducibility and reliability, critical for achieving statistically significant data.

The value of TAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines in accelerating research and supporting cutting-edge therapeutic development cannot be overstated. Clinicians and researchers seeking innovative insights into the immune system will find these cell lines to be indispensable. Our company prides itself on a strong foundation in genetic engineering and cell biology, ensuring that our product offerings meet the most stringent scientific standards while empowering you to advance your research objectives effectively.
