Description

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8, also known as CD288, is a 83 kDa, type 1 transmembrane protein, member of the TLR receptor family. TLR8 is expressed intracellulary in monocytes, macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells, and plays an important role in the innate immune response by binding single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). TLR8 triggers anti-viral reponses promoting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-12 and TNF.

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and BSA (origin USA)

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by intracellular immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per million cells in 100 µL staining volume or 5 µL per 100 µL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
