TLR8 (Toll Like Receptor 8, Toll-like Receptor 8, TLR 8, CD288, CD288 Antigen, MGC119599, MGC119600) (FITC)
Description:
The Toll-like receptor (TLR) family in mammal comprises a family of transmembrane proteins characterized by multiple copies of leucine rich repeats in the extracellular domain and IL-1 receptor motif in the cytoplasmic domain. Like its counterparts in Drosophila, TLRs signal through adaptor molecules. The TRL family is a phylogenetically conserved mediator of innate immunity that is essential for microbial recognition. Ten human homologs of TLRs (TLR1-10) have been described. TLR8 gene contains three exons, two of which have coding function. TLR8 cDNA codes for a protein of approximate molecular weight of 120kD.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Flow Cytometry (Intracellular): 0.5-2ug per 10e6 cells
Flow Cytometry (Cell surface): see Xu et al. (2006)
Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml unconjugated antibody
Optimal dilution to be determined by researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
