Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RO0013
Description This cell line is engineered to stably overexpress the human HAVCR2 in CHO-K1 cells.
Background The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and TIM family of proteins. CD4-positive T helper lymphocytes can be divided into types 1 (Th1) and 2 (Th2) on the basis of their cytokine secretion patterns. Th1 cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity to intracellular pathogens and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, whereas, Th2 cells are involved in the control of extracellular helminthic infections and the promotion of atopic and allergic diseases. This protein is a Th1-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation, and inhibits Th1-mediated auto- and alloimmune responses, and promotes immunological tolerance.

Customer Q&As
What is the origin of the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO, and how was it established?

A: The Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO is likely derived from CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells and has been genetically modified to stably express the human HAVCR2 gene. The establishment of this stable cell line typically involves transfecting CHO cells with a plasmid or viral vector containing the human HAVCR2 gene and a selectable marker, followed by the selection of cells expressing HAVCR2. This results in the creation of a stable cell line capable of consistently producing the HAVCR2 protein.

What are the specific applications of the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO in scientific research?

A: The Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO can be used in various scientific research applications, particularly in the study of human HAVCR2, also known as Tim-3. Some potential applications include investigating the role of HAVCR2 in immune regulation, immune checkpoint pathways, and its interaction with ligands such as galectin-9. Researchers can use this cell line to study HAVCR2-mediated signaling, immune responses, and the development of therapeutics targeting the HAVCR2 pathway.

Are there any unique characteristics or advantages associated with the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO compared to other cell lines expressing HAVCR2?

A: The Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO may offer specific advantages, such as stable and consistent expression of human HAVCR2. CHO cells are a widely used expression system known for their ability to produce recombinant proteins effectively. This cell line could be advantageous for researchers interested in studying human HAVCR2 in a controlled and reproducible environment. However, the choice of cell line should align with the specific research goals and experimental requirements.

What are the recommended culture conditions and media for maintaining the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO?

A: To maintain the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO, researchers should typically culture the cells in a suitable growth medium for CHO cells, supplemented with any necessary selection agents or antibiotics. The specific culture conditions, including temperature, CO2 concentration, and passaging protocols, should be in accordance with established protocols provided by the cell line provider or described in relevant literature.

What precautions should researchers take when working with the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO to ensure reliable and reproducible results?

A: When working with the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO, researchers should consider the following precautions: a. Regularly monitor and maintain the stability of human HAVCR2 expression to ensure consistent results.<br/>b. Confirm the presence of the selection agent or antibiotic to prevent the loss of HAVCR2-expressing cells.

Are there any known limitations or challenges associated with using the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO in research, such as potential differences in post-translational modifications compared to native cells?

A: Researchers should be aware of potential limitations when using the Human HAVCR2 Stable Cell Line - CHO. One important consideration is the possibility of differences in post-translational modifications or glycosylation patterns compared to native human cells. These modifications can impact the function and binding affinity of HAVCR2. Validation experiments and comparisons with native human cells may be necessary to ensure that findings from this cell line accurately represent the biology of human HAVCR2.
