TLR4 (Toll Like Receptor 4, CD284) (Biotin)

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are highly conserved throughout evolution and have been implicated in the innate defense to many pathogens. In Drosophila, toll is required for the anti-fungal response, while the related 18-wheeler is involved in antibacterial defenses. In mammals, TLR identified as type I transmembrane signaling receptors with pattern recognition capabilities, have been implicated in the innate host defense to pathogens. TLR4 has been identified next to MD-2 and CD14 as a receptor that is central to the innate immune response to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Functional Studies, ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nFlow Cytometry: 1:50\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Additional Info

Recognizes human TLR4 (CD284) that is associated with MD-2. This clone is a TLR4 (CD284) function-blocking antibody that is useful for studies on the role of TLR4 (CD284) as a receptor for LPS induced cytokine production by TLR4 bearing cells. Species crossreactivity: canine, cynomolgus monkey, rhesus monkey and marmoset monkey.
