Rabbit Anti-MDA5 (Melanoma Differentiation-associated Protein 5, MDA-5, Interferon-induced Helicase C Domain-containing Protein 1, Clinically Amyopathic Dermatomyositis Autoantigen 140kD, CADM-140 Autoantigen, Helicase with 2 CARD Domains, Helicard, Hlcd, IDDM19, Interferon-induced with Helicase C Domain Protein 1, IFIH1, MGC133047, Murabutide Down-regulated Protein, RNA Helicase-DEAD Box Protein 116, RH116) (MaxLight 550)
MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
The innate immune system detects viral infection by recognizing various viral components and triggers antiviral responses . Like the toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), the melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) recognizes double-stranded (ds) RNA, a molecular pattern associated with viral infection. MDA5, a member of the DEAD/DEAH-box RNA helicase family, consists of an amino-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a carboxyl-terminal RNA helicase domain similar to that of the related protein RIG-1. When stimulated by dsRNA, MDA5 recruits the adaptor protein VISA and ultimately causes the activation of IRF-3 and NF-κB. MDA5 and RIG-1 recognize different types of dsRNA, with MDA5 recognizing poly (I:C). MDA5-null mice were highly susceptible to infection with picornaviruses, which possess such sequences, demonstrating the importance of MDA5 in innate immunity.
