B6-hNLRP3
Product ID:
C001616
Strain:
C57BL/6NCya
Status:
Description:
The Cryopyrin protein, encoded by the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) gene, is a core component of the inflammasome in the innate immune system. As a member of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, NLRP3 is predominantly expressed in leukocytes and chondrocytes. It participates in the host defense against damage and infection by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to activate immune responses [1]. In its inactive monomeric state, NLRP3 senses intracellular damage signals, such as abnormal protein aggregates and lipid accumulation. Upon activation, NLRP3 oligomerizes, adopting an active conformation and assembling into inflammasome complexes, subsequently activating Caspase-1 to drive the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18 [1-2]. Activated NLRP3 not only induces the release of inflammatory cytokines but also triggers lytic cell pyroptosis. The intracellular components released during pyroptosis can further amplify inflammatory signals, forming a positive feedback loop of autoinflammation. Moreover, IL-1β can exacerbate the inflammatory cascade by stimulating the production of inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) [3-4]. Given NLRP3's upstream position relative to IL-1β/IL-18 and other inflammatory factors, targeting its activity can effectively block the self-reinforcing mechanism of chronic inflammation, providing a significant therapeutic strategy for inflammation-related diseases [5]. The potential therapeutic areas include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease (via neuroinflammation modulation), inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), gout, and obesity-related metabolic inflammation [6-7].
The B6-hNLRP3 mouse model was generated by replacing the mouse Nlrp3 genomic region (from the ATG start codon to downstream of the 3'UTR) with the human NLRP3 sequence (from upstream of the ATG start codon to downstream of the 3'UTR), enabling stable expression of human NLRP3 protein. The B6-hNLRP3 mouse is suitable for studying inflammatory mechanisms, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases. It also serves as an ideal tool for human NLRP3-targeted drug development and preclinical efficacy evaluation.

B6-hα4β7/hTL1A
Product ID:
C001795
Strain:
C57BL/6Cya
Status:
Description:
The ITGA4 gene encodes the integrin α4 subunit, which pairs with the integrin β7 subunit, encoded by the ITGB7 gene, to form the heterodimeric transmembrane protein α4β7, a key member of the integrin protein family [1]. α4β7 is prominently expressed in immune tissues, including lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, and blood, as well as in diverse immune cell populations, such as T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and natural killer cells [1]. Functionally, α4β7 mediates cell adhesion and migration, critically regulating immune cell trafficking and inflammatory processes. Specifically, α4β7 facilitates lymphocyte migration to sites of inflammation and intestinal lymphoid tissues through interactions with vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) [2]. Notably, ITGA4 and ITGB7 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and multiple sclerosis [2-4]. Consequently, the targeting of α4β7 has emerged as a key therapeutic strategy for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A), also known as TNF superfamily member 15 (TNFSF15), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family encoded by the TNFSF15 gene in humans. TL1A acts as a ligand for death receptor 3 (DR3) and decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), providing a stimulatory signal for downstream pathways. It regulates the proliferation, activation, and apoptosis of effector cells, as well as cytokine and chemokine production. TL1A is expressed in various immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, as well as in non-immune cells such as synovial fibroblasts and endothelial cells. It plays a crucial role in modulating immune responses by promoting the differentiation and survival of T cells, particularly Th17 cells involved in inflammatory processes [5]. TL1A enhances IL-2 responses in anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated T cells and synergizes with IL-12 and IL-18 to augment IFN-γ release in human T and NK cells, biasing T cell differentiation toward a Th1 phenotype [6]. Dysregulation of TL1A expression is implicated in autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) [5]. TL1A has emerged as a promising therapeutic target, with ongoing research focused on developing monoclonal antibodies and other biologics to neutralize TL1A and reduce inflammation in autoimmune disorders. Clinical trial results suggest that TL1A inhibition can be used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases, particularly IBD [7-9].

B6-hIgA1
Product ID:
C001565
Strain:
C57BL/6NCya
Status:
Description:
The immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region α1 (IGHA1) gene encodes the IgA1 protein, a subtype of immunoglobulin A (IgA), primarily found in mucosal areas such as the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, playing a key role in immune defense by neutralizing pathogens and preventing their invasion [1]. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common forms of glomerulonephritis, accounting for 30% to 50% of primary glomerulonephritis cases, and is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). IgAN is characterized by the deposition of IgA1-containing immune complexes in the glomeruli (the kidney's filtering units), leading to extensive pathological damage ranging from mesangial matrix expansion to proliferative glomerulonephritis, ultimately manifesting as clinical symptoms such as hematuria and proteinuria, and impairing kidney function [2-3]. Approximately one-third of IgAN patients eventually progress to renal failure. The pathogenesis of IgAN is associated with galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) in the serum, which acts as an autoantigen, triggering an immune response that leads to the formation and deposition of immune complexes in the kidneys [2-4]. Additionally, these IgA1 antibodies can bind to the soluble form of the myeloid IgA receptor FcαRI (CD89/FCAR), further exacerbating the disease [4].
The B6-hIgA1 mouse is a humanized model constructed by inserting the human IGHA1 gene sequence into the region between the mouse IgM enhancer (Eμ) and IgM constant region (Cμ), replacing the mouse IgM switch region (Sμ). B6-hIgA1 mice successfully express the human IGHA1 gene, and high levels of human IgA1 protein can be detected in their serum. Therefore, B6-hIgA1 mice can be used to study B cell development, immunoglobulin formation, and autoimmune mechanisms. They can also be crossed with CD89 humanized mouse models to create IgA nephropathy (IgAN) mouse model that better reflect human genetic mechanisms and pathological phenotypes [4], facilitating the development of IgA1-targeted drugs.

B6-hIL6RA
Product ID:
C001606
Strain:
C57BL/6NCya
Status:
Description:
The IL6RA (IL6R, also known as CD126) gene encodes a subunit of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor complex. The IL-6 receptor is a protein complex composed of the IL6RA protein and the interleukin-6 signal transducer (IL6ST/GP130/IL6-beta). This receptor subunit is shared by many other cytokines. The expression of IL-6R is primarily restricted to hepatocytes, leukocytes, and megakaryocytes. Upon binding to its receptor IL-6Rα, IL-6 interacts with two GP130 molecules to form a hexameric complex in a 2:2:2 configuration. Once the IL-6 receptor complex is activated, multiple downstream events allow IL-6 to mediate its diverse effects. These include the pathways of the GTPase Ras and its effector Raf, the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade that controls cellular proliferation and differentiation, and the pathways involving tyrosine kinases of the Jak family and transcription factors of the STAT family [1]. IL-6 receptor defects can lead to immunodeficiency and atopy. Patients with loss-of-function variants in IL-6R present with an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent Haemophilus chest infections, staphylococcal skin abscesses, atopic dermatitis, elevated IgE levels, eosinophilia, and absent acute phase responses [2]. Research has shown that the IL-6 pathway is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and is involved in the dysregulation seen in many diseases. Antibody drugs targeting the IL-6/IL-6 receptor signaling pathway have become innovative therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancers [3].
The B6-hIL6RA mouse is an Il6ra gene humanized model, in which the coding sequence (CDS) of the human IL6R gene is inserted into the endogenous Il6ra gene sequence of mice. This model can be used in researching autoimmune diseases, inflammation-related diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases. It is also useful for the development, screening, and evaluation of IL6RA-targeted drugs.

C001604
Strain:
C57BL/6NCya
Status:
Description:
The TNFRSF9 gene, also known as 4-1BB/CD137, encodes a protein that belongs to the TNF receptor superfamily. This receptor aids in the clonal expansion, survival, and development of T cells. It can also induce the proliferation of peripheral monocytes, enhance TCR/CD3-triggered activation-induced T cell apoptosis, and regulate CD28 co-stimulation to promote Th1 cell responses. TRAF adaptor proteins can bind to it and transmit signals that activate NF-kappaB. Many immune cell types express TNFRSF9, including activated NK cells, NKT cells, B cells, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, neutrophils, mature Tregs, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells. Additionally, TNFRSF9 may be expressed in non-immune cell types such as endothelial cells, neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. TNFRSF9 plays roles in innate and adaptive immunity, including cancer immunology and autoimmune diseases [1]. Due to its broad expression profile and immune response functions, 4-1BB is a potential target for cancer and immunotherapy. In recent years, research on second-generation 4-1BB agonists has been expanding, with various strategies being implemented to overcome the liver toxicity and efficacy limitations of the first generation [2-3].

B6-hIL23A/hIL12B/hTL1A
Product ID:
C001796
Strain:
C57BL/6Cya
Status:
Description:
The IL23A gene encodes the p19 subunit, a component of interleukin-23 (IL-23), which forms a heterodimer with the p40 subunit (encoded by IL12B) to generate the functional IL-23 cytokine [1]. Primarily expressed by activated dendritic cells, macrophages, and monocytes, IL-23 signals through the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) complex, activating the JAK-STAT pathway to promote Th17 cell differentiation and maintain IL-17 production. This process drives inflammatory responses and mucosal immunity against extracellular pathogens [1-2]. . Genetic polymorphisms within IL23A are strongly associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, due to dysregulated Th17 activity and chronic inflammation [1-2]. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-23, such as risankizumab and guselkumab, selectively block the p19 subunit, demonstrating therapeutic efficacy in psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases by suppressing pathogenic IL-17/Th17 pathways [3]. Also, monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-12B, such as ustekinumab, are clinically utilized for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis and Crohn's disease [4]. While IL-23 plays a role in protective immunity, its overactivation contributes to tissue damage in autoimmune settings, highlighting its dual function in immune regulation and disease pathogenesis [1-5].

Clinical trial results suggest that TL1A inhibition can be used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases, particularly IBD [8-10].

Description:
Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a signature cytokine of the T helper 17 (Th17) subset of CD4+ T cells and one of the six members (IL-17A~IL-17F) of the IL-17 family. IL-17A is primarily produced by Th17 cells and can also be produced by other immune cells under certain conditions, including CD8+ T cells, γδT cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and microglia [1]. IL-17A mediates downstream pathways that induce the production of inflammatory molecules, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and remodeling proteins, which have important effects on host defense, cell transport, immune regulation, and tissue repair, especially in inducing innate immune defense. In healthy skin, commensal microorganisms induce the production of IL-17A to provide antifungal protection. When the skin barrier is damaged, IL-17A promotes epithelial cell proliferation and can clear pathogenic factors, promoting tissue repair and wound healing [2]. IL-17A usually protects the body when it is acutely injured, but when a wound requires long-term healing and becomes a chronic injury, the role of IL-17A may transform into wound erosion or excessive proliferation, ultimately leading to loss of function [3].
IL-17A plays a key role in various infectious diseases, inflammations, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Its high expression level is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. Lung injury caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is largely the result of the promotion of inflammatory reactions by cytokines such as IL-17A. Dysregulation of IL-17 signaling promotes pathogenic inflammation. IL-17A has a pathogenic role in mediating the important inflammatory pathway of psoriasis. The IL-23/Th17/IL-17A pathway is a key link in its pathogenesis, and inhibiting the expression of IL-17A can effectively alleviate psoriasis [4]. IL-17A is also associated with the course of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and IL-17A inhibitors can effectively treat AS [5]. In addition, studies have shown that IL-17A is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system, and its expression level is related to the severity and progression of the disease [3].
The IL17F gene, located on chromosome 6p12.2, is primarily expressed by activated T cells, particularly Th17 cells, as well as other immune cells like γδ T cells and some innate immune cells [6]. The gene encodes the interleukin-17F (IL-17F) cytokine, a disulfide-linked homodimer protein that shares significant sequence homology with IL-17A [7]. Functionally, IL-17F is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that binds to the IL-17RA/RC receptor complex, triggering downstream signaling pathways involving Act1 and TRAF6, leading to the induction of various cytokines (like IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF) and chemokines, which contribute to neutrophil recruitment and inflammation in barrier tissues such as the skin, lungs, and gut [8]. Elevated levels or dysregulation of IL-17F have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and potentially Sjögren's syndrome, highlighting its role in chronic inflammatory processes [7-9].
The B6-huIL17A/huIL17F mouse is a dual-gene humanized model constructed by gene-editing technology. Based on the B6-hIL-17A mouse (catalog number: C001510), the sequences from the ATG start codon to the TGA stop codon of the endogenous mouse Il17f gene were replaced with the sequences from the ATG start codon to the TAA stop codon of the human IL17F gene. This model can be used for research on the pathogenesis of various chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and the related therapeutic drugs, as well as for the development of IL17A/IL17F-targeted drugs.

Strain:
C57BL/6NCya
Status:
Description:
The IL15 gene encodes a pleiotropic four-α-helix bundle cytokine known as Interleukin-15 (IL-15), which is essential for the development, survival, and activation of immune cells, particularly Natural Killer (NK) cells and memory CD8+ T cells. Unlike many cytokines, IL-15 is primarily regulated at the post-transcriptional and translational levels rather than just transcriptionally, and it is uniquely delivered to target cells through trans-presentation, where it is shuttled to the cell surface bound to its high-affinity receptor, IL-15Rα [1]. The protein is widely expressed across a variety of tissues, including the placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung, and heart, and is produced by both hematopoietic cells (such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells) and non-hematopoietic cells (such as epithelial cells and fibroblasts) [2]. Functionally, IL-15 triggers the JAK/STAT (specifically JAK1/3 and STAT3/5) and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways to promote cellular proliferation and inhibit apoptosis by upregulating anti-apoptotic factors like BCL2 [3]. Because of its potent inflammatory effects, dysregulation of the IL15 gene is implicated in several pathologies: over-expression is strongly associated with autoimmune diseases like Celiac disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Multiple Sclerosis, as well as certain malignancies like Adult T-cell Leukemia, while its deficiency can lead to severe immunodeficiency or impaired response to viral infections [4].
The B6-huIL15 mouse is a humanized model constructed through gene-editing technology, in which the region from partial intron 4 to TGA stop codon of mouse Il15 is replaced with the region from partial intron 4 to TGA stop codon of human IL15. This model can be used for research on autoimmune diseases like Celiac disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Multiple Sclerosis, as well as certain malignancies like Adult T-cell Leukemia. Furthermore, it serves as a platform for the screening, development, and preclinical evaluation of IL15-targeted therapeutics.
