Background
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 (1). The TLR family is a phylogenetically conserved mediator of innate immunity that is essential for microbial recognition (2). Ten human homologs of TLRs (TLR1-10) have been described (3). TLR8 gene contains three exons, two of which have coding function (4). TLR8 cDNA codes for a protein of approximate molecular weight of 120 kDa (4,5). |
Antigen
This antibody was developed against a KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide of human TLR8, within amino acids 750-850. It will cross-react with mouse TLR8. |
Application Notes
This antibody tests positive by western blot in transfected cell lysate and human Ramos cell lysate. |

Western blot analysis of TLR8 in human Ramos cell lysate using IMG-321A at 3 ug/ml. IMGENEX’s goat anti-mouse Ig HRP secondary antibody (IMGENEX, 20101) and PicoTect ECL substrate solution (IMGENEX, 10087K) were used for this test. |

Intracellular flow analysis of TLR8 in 10^6 human lymphocytes using 1 ug of IMG-321A. Shaded histogram represents cells without antibody; green represents isotype control (IMGENEX, 20109); red represents anti-TLR8 antibody. Goat anti-mouse IgG1 PE conjugate (BD) was used as secondary. |
