Description:
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.

| 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. |
