Advantages of Knock-Out Neural Models

Knock-out neural models, where specific genes are inactivated, are indispensable for:

Advantages Description
Deciphering Gene Function in Neurophysiology and Pathology
  • Elucidating Neuronal Processes: Clarifying gene roles in neuronal development, synaptic activity, and survival (e.g., Grin1 KO's impact on NMDA receptors).
  • Modeling Neurological Disorders: Mimicking human neurological and psychiatric diseases, where cell-specific KOs (e.g., Act1) are effective for modeling conditions like EAE.
  • Uncovering Novel Disease Mechanisms: Revealing new mechanisms, such as Has3 KO linking hyaluronan deficiency and reduced brain ECS to epilepsy.
Understanding Complex Biological Processes
  • Studying Neurogenesis and Neuronal Survival: For instance, NOS-I KO enhanced new neuron survival, indicating its inhibitory role independent of hippocampal BDNF.
  • Dissecting Cell-Type Specific Roles: Precisely analyzing cellular contributions to brain function and disease using cell-specific KOs (e.g., for NeuN in neurons, GFAP in astrocytes).
Accelerating Therapeutic Development
  • Validating Therapeutic Targets: Crucially validating potential drug targets.
  • Guiding Preclinical Research: Informing KO animal model development for complex preclinical testing based on cell model insights.

FAQs

  • Can you create conditional knock-outs or knock-ins in neural cells?
    Yes, in addition to constitutive knock-outs, we have extensive experience in developing conditional knock-out (cKO) neural cell models and knock-in (KI) models. Please inquire about these services.
  • Do you offer KO models for specific neurological diseases?
    Yes, we can generate KO neural cells targeting genes implicated in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders, providing valuable tools for disease modeling.
  • Can you knock out non-coding genes or specific gene isoforms?
    Absolutely. Our expertise extends to targeting non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs) and designing strategies to knock out specific gene isoforms.
  • What are the advantages of using your KO neural cells over siRNA/shRNA methods?
    KO cells offer complete and permanent gene inactivation at the genomic level, leading to more definitive and reproducible results compared to transient or incomplete knockdown achieved by RNAi methods. This is crucial for long-term studies and understanding true loss-of-function phenotypes.
  • Can Creative Biolabs assist with the experimental design for using these KO cells?
    While we provide the cell models, our scientific team can offer general guidance and discuss potential experimental approaches based on their expertise.
