LAG3 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Integrating) - 500 µl x 2

Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3, CD223) is a cell surface protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. LAG3 is expressed on activated T-cells, Natural Killer cells, B-cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Its main ligand is the MHC class II, to which it binds with higher affinity than CD4. It negatively regulates cellular proliferation, activation, and homeostasis of T-cells in a similar fashion as CTLA-4 and PD-1, and has been reported to play a role in T-reg suppressive function. A number of LAG3 antibodies are in preclinical development for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disorders. LAG3 may be a better immune checkpoint inhibitor target than CTLA-4 or PD-1, because antibodies targeting CTLA-4 or PD-1 only activate effector T-cells while failing to inhibit T-reg activity, whereas an antagonist LAG3 antibody can both activate effector T-cells (by downregulating the LAG3 inhibiting signal) and inhibit induced (i.e. antigen-specific) T-reg suppressive activ
