The Human LAG3 (Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3) gene encodes a protein that is involved in the immune response, particularly in the regulation of T cell activation and immune tolerance. LAG3 is expressed on the surface of T cells and interacts with MHC class II molecules, modulating the immune response. The HEK293T cell line, a derivative of HEK293 cells, has been engineered to stably express the Human LAG3 gene. This stable cell line serves as a model for studying the role of LAG3 in immune regulation and its potential as a target for immunotherapies. Researchers can use this cell line to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying LAG3's function, its interaction with other immune system components, and its role in diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders.

The researchers used the Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T to study the LAG3 protein's role in immune response modulation. LAG3 is a transmembrane protein that inhibits cell activation and proliferation, resulting in optimal immune response modulation. Using in vitro phage display technique, scientists discovered a new single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody that targets LAG3. This antibody was reconstituted as an IgG and evaluated for binding specificity. They used antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocyte clones to show that the antibody increases cell activation, implying that it could be used as an immunological checkpoint inhibitor in cancer therapy.

Figure 1 shows the binding properties of the bivalent scFvF7-Fc antibody. (doi: 10.1186/s12896-019-0559-x)Figure 1. The researchers investigated the binding properties of the divalent scFvF7-Fc antibody. They used ELISA to test binding to recombinant LAG3, FACS analysis on LAG3-overexpressing 293T cells, and dose-response binding on activated human CD8+ T cells. The results demonstrated that the antibody bound in a specific and dose-dependent manner. (Ascione A, et al., 2019)

Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T represents a powerful tool in the realm of immunotherapy research, particularly focusing on the lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) which is a crucial checkpoint in the immune response. This cell line, derived from human embryonic kidney 293T cells, has been engineered to stably express LAG3, providing a consistent and reproducible platform for investigating the role of LAG3 in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and vaccine development. Below are three unique applications of this cell line: (1) Immunotherapy Drug Screening and Development: Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T can be employed to screen for and develop novel immunotherapeutic drugs. By targeting LAG3, which is known to negatively regulate T-cell function and is upregulated in various cancers, researchers can identify compounds that block or modulate this checkpoint to enhance T-cell mediated immune responses against tumors. This application is critical for the discovery of new checkpoint inhibitors or modulators that could offer more effective treatments for cancer patients with fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies. (2) Understanding LAG3-Mediated Immune Regulation: This cell line provides a unique model to study the intricate mechanisms of LAG3-mediated immune regulation. Researchers can use CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tools in conjunction with this cell line to knock out or modify specific genes and analyze their effects on LAG3 expression and function. This could uncover new insights into how LAG3 interacts with other immune checkpoints and its role in the immune escape mechanisms of cancer cells, potentially identifying new therapeutic targets for cancer immunotherapy. (3) Vaccine Efficacy Testing: Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T can also serve as a valuable tool for testing the efficacy of vaccines, particularly those designed to elicit a T-cell response. By expressing LAG3, these cells can mimic the suppressive tumor environment, allowing researchers to evaluate how well a vaccine can stimulate an immune response in the presence of immune checkpoints. This application is essential for developing vaccines that are effective in overcoming the immunosuppressive barriers present in many cancers, leading to more potent and durable vaccine-induced immunity.
Customer Q&As
How is the Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T constructed through genetic engineering techniques?

A: The Human LAG3 Stable Cell Line-HEK293T is constructed by introducing the LAG3 (Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3) gene's encoding sequence into the HEK293T cell line using viral vector-mediated gene transfer techniques, such as retroviruses or lentiviruses, to ensure stable expression of the LAG3 gene in the cells.
