Description
The 624915 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to TLR5 (Toll-like Receptor 5) which is also known as CD285, MELIOS, SLEB1, and TIL3. TLR5 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the Toll-like Receptor family. It is expressed on mucosal epithelial cells and leucocytes, including monocytes and some immature dendritic cells and CD4-positive T cells. CD285 binds to bacterial flagellin. Flagellin binding induces TLR5 dimerization and intracellular signaling through MyD88 resulting in the cellular production of proinflammatory cytokines and immune system activation.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
6. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
7. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
