Gene: TNFRSF18
Official Full Name: TNF receptor superfamily member 18provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

TNFRSF18 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered for the targeted disruption of the TNFRSF18 gene, which encodes for the glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR). These knockout cell lines are invaluable tools for researchers studying immune regulation and inflammation, as GITR plays a crucial role in modulating T cell activation and survival. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome editing technologies, our cell lines facilitate the investigation of GITR signaling pathways, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying immune responses and potential therapeutic interventions.
The primary function of TNFRSF18 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide a clear insight into the biological roles of GITR. The absence of GITR can significantly alter T cell proliferation and effector functions, making these models critical for assessing the impact of GITR modulation in both autoimmune diseases and cancer immunotherapy. Researchers can utilize these cell lines in drug discovery, immunological studies, and therapeutic development, offering a controlled environment to dissect complex interactions within the immune system.
One distinct advantage of our TNFRSF18 gene knockout cell lines is their high reliability and reproducibility compared to traditional knockout models and wild-type controls. In contrast to primary cell cultures or animal models that can introduce variability, these engineered cell lines ensure consistent genetic backgrounds, allowing for meticulous experimental design and data interpretation. Additionally, our cell lines are easy to culture and manipulate, providing researchers with flexibility in their experimental workflows.
The significance of these cell lines extends beyond academia; they hold critical applications in clinical settings, particularly in the development of targeted therapies for cancer and autoimmune disorders. By facilitating better understanding and manipulation of T cell responses, our TNFRSF18 gene knockout cell lines can help drive advancements in personalized medicine and immunotherapeutics.
With our commitment to high-quality biological products and extensive expertise in cell line development, we assure researchers and clinicians that our TNFRSF18 gene knockout cell lines are essential resources for groundbreaking studies. Together, we aspire to empower the scientific community to unlock new pathways in immunology and enhance therapeutic strategies.
