Type I Interferon Induction and Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit #43573

    Product Information

    Product Description

    The Type I Interferon Induction and Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of detecting the activation of pathways leading to upregulation of type I interferon (IFN), expression of IFN-β1, activation of signaling downstream of type I IFN, and expression of the MX1 interferon response gene, using phospho-specific and control antibodies. The kit includes enough antibodies to perform at least two western blot experiments.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Each antibody in the Type I Interferon Induction and Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit recognizes endogenous levels of its target protein. Phospho-IRF-3 (Ser386) (E7J8G) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of IRF-3 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser386. Phospho-IRF-7 (Ser477) (D7E1W) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of IRF-7 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser477 and can also detect IRF-7 when dually phosphorylated at Ser477 and Ser479. Phospho-IRF-7 (Ser477) (D7E1W) Rabbit mAb may cross-react with unidentified proteins of 100 and 150 kDa. Phospho-Stat1 (Ser727) (D3B7) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of Stat1 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser727. Stat1 (D1K9Y) Rabbit mAb cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 150 kDa. IRF-9 (D2T8M) Rabbit mAb cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 95 kDa.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues surrounding Pro115 of human IRF-7, Pro688 of human Stat1, Leu292 of human MX1, recombinant human IRF-3 protein, recombinant human IFN-β1 protein, and recombinant human IRF-9 protein. Phosphorylation-specific monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues surrounding Ser386 of human IRF-3, Ser477 of human IRF-7, and Ser727 of human Stat1.

    Background

    The innate immune system uses pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as cytoplasmic double-stranded RNA, to detect and initiate an immune response to viral infection. Detection of virus by PRRs leads to phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of IRF-3 and IRF-7, resulting in upregulation of type I interferons, which include IFN-α and IFN-β (1-3). Type I interferons signal through the interferon α/β receptor (IFNAR), leading to phosphorylation and activation of Stat1 and Stat2, which form a complex with IRF-9 (4,5). This complex translocates to the nucleus where it induces transcription of interferon response genes including viral restriction factors, such as MX1, that limit viral replication and propagation (4-7).
