Synthetic peptide TLR9 16aa near the carboxy terminus of human TLR9 (GenBank accession no. AAH32713).
Description: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved pattern-recognition molecules resembling the toll proteins that mediate antimicrobial responses in Drosophila. These proteins recognize different microbial products during infection and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses (1,2). TLR9 forms a subfamily along with TLR7 and TLR8 that recognize viral RNA and CpG DNA sequences (3) and are localized in intracellular acidic compartments such as the phagolysosome (4). Unlike other TLRs which act through adaptor molecules such as TOLLIP, TIRAP, TRIF, and MyD88 to activate various kinases and transcription factors to respond to potential infection (5), TLR9 is strictly dependent on MyD88 (3). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry, Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml Immunohistochemistry: 2ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Mouse spleen cell lysate Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
