TLR9 is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family and functions as a receptor for bacterial DNA (CpG-DNA), playing a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are expressed on the cell surface and the endocytic compartment and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents.They also initiate cell signalling to induce production of cytokines necessary for the innate immunity and subsequent adaptive immunity.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1:10-1:50; 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul
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.
