Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The ALYSCLN monoclonal antibody reacts with human IRF5, a 60-63 kDa member of the interferon regulatory factor family of transcription factors that have diverse roles in host defense against viruses. IRF5 was originally identified as an important regulator of IFN alpha and IFN beta and more recently has been shown to be regulated by these interferons. IRF5 is also involved in induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-12 and TNF alpha in response to TLR signaling. Specifically, it has been shown that MyD88 and TRAF6 interact directly with IRF5 in response to TLR activation and this interaction results in IRF5 nuclear translocation. Additionally, IRF5 has been shown to have both p53-dependent and independent effects in regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. Genetic polymorphisms in the IRF5 locus have been implicated in many autoimmune diseases including Sjogren's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Recently, a role for IRF5 in the polarization of classically activated (M1) macrophages has been identified. In these macrophages, IRF5 directly upregulates expression of IL-12 and IL-23 and represses IL-10. Moreover, exogenous expression of IRF5 in M2-polarized (alternatively activated) macrophages induces expression of M1-related cytokines and chemokines.

This gene encodes a member of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family, a group of transcription factors with diverse roles, including virus-mediated activation of interferon, and modulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune system activity. Members of the IRF family are characterized by a conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain containing tryptophan (W) repeats. Alternative splice variants encoding different isoforms exist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

Is the eFluor 660 fluorochrome compatible with Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads?

Yes, in-house studies have demonstrated that the eFluor 660 fluorochrome is recognized by Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads. Side by side studies with Alexa Fluor 647 versus eFluor 660 conjugated antibodies have demonstrated comparable results.

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
