Bio-Rad, AHP1822, CD284 antibody

Goat anti Human CD284 antibody recognizes the human Toll-like receptor 4, also known as CD284, hToll or TLR4. CD284 is an 839 amino acid ~96 kDa single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by peripheral blood leucocytes, activated T cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes and endothelial cells. CD284 plays a primary role in the activation of innate immunity ( UniProt: O00206 ). Goat anti Human CD284 antibody recognizes an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of CD284, a highly conserved member of the toll-like receptor family which acts as a receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in co-operation with CD14 and MD2 (LY96), resulting in the activation of the MyD88-dependent and MyD88-independent (TRIF-dependent) signalling pathways and the production of inflammatory cytokines. LPS-activated CD284 can also induce dendritic cell maturation via TRIF-dependent signaling. Goat anti Human CD284 antibody is reported to be suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on acetone fixed cells.

Storage Information
This product is shipped at ambient temperature. It is recommended to aliquot and store at -20°C on receipt. When thawed, aliquot the sample as needed. Keep aliquots at 2-8°C for short term use (up to 4 weeks) and store the remaining aliquots at -20°C.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
