AdipoGen anti-Cardif (human), mAb (Adri-1) (100 µg)

Supplier: AdipoGen AG20B0004C100
Monoclonal Antibody. Recognizes human Cardif. Isotype: Mouse IgG2b. Clone: Adri-1. Applications: ICC, IHC, IP, WB. Liquid. In PBS containing 10% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide. RIG-I and MDA5 are proteins that sense viral replication intermediates, such as double-stranded RNA and triggers the host antiviral programs. These molecules signal the downstream activation of NF-kappaB and IFN regulatory factor (IRF) -3, which coordinately regulate the expression of type-I interferons. Cardif (also called VISA/IPS-1/MAVS) is a new CARD (caspase activation and recruitment domain)-containing adaptor protein that interacts with the CARD domain of RIG-I and MDA5, leading to the activation of NF-kappaB and IRF3. Cardif is located to the mitochondrial outer membrane. Removal of the mitochondrial-targeting domain of cardif abolishes its ability to induce IFNs. Cardif is cleaved and inactivated by NS3-4A, a serine protease from hepatitis C virus known to block interferon-beta production.
