Human LAG3/CD223 Gene, Full-length cDNA Clone in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA

Description

LAG3 (lymphocyte-activation protein 3) or CD223 is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF).  LAG3 contains 4 Ig-like motifs (1 IgV-type and 3 IgC2-type) in the extracellular domain (ECD) in addition to a transmembrane (TM) domain and a cytoplasmic tail.  The LAG3 sequence, exon/intron organization, and chromosomal localization indicate a close relationship to CD4. LAG3 is expressed on the cell surface of activated NK and T-lymphocytes.  LAG3 is involved in lymphocyte activation and can directly bind to HLA or MHC class-II (HLA-II or MHC-II) antigens. LAG-3 has ~20% amino acid sequence homology to CD4, but it binds to MHC-II with higher affinity than CD4.  Like PD1, LAG3 provides negative regulation of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. The LAG-3/MHC-II pathway may synergize with PD-1 to regulate T cell-mediated immune responses. LAG3 is expressed on activated CD4+CD25+ Treg cells that may be responsible for directing an immune-suppressive environment.   A soluble form of LAG3 (sLAG3), can be shed by metalloproteinases, allowing for normal T cell activation by removing negative regulation.  Binding of dimeric sLAG-3-Fc fusion protein to MHC-II induces maturation of immature DC, and secretion of cytokines by cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, making it a potential adjuvant to stimulate anti-cancer immunity. LAG3 represents a promising target for immunotherapy.

 

 

Gene Symbol: LAG3; CD223; LAG-3

 

NCBI Gene ID: 3902

 

Uniprot Entry: P18627

 

Construct Details: Full length human LAG3 gene (encoding UniProt #P18627) is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 1578 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
