TLRs play an important role in the recognition of invading microbial pathogens during innate immunity, acting through adaptor molecules such as MyD88 and TRAF6. TLR6 acts via a cytokine signaling pathway to induce the activation of NF-kappaB, through the formation of dimers with TLR2 (CD282) which coordinate macrophage activation by Gram-positive bacteria and zymosan. Studies have also revealed the involvement of TLR6/TLR2 dimers in apoptotic responses, through recognition of mycoplasmal lipoproteins.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
