Note generali
Mouse anti Human IRF5 antibody, clone 10T1 recognizes human interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5), a ~58 kDa member of the IRF family which acts as a key regulator of interferon gene transcription, and is expressed in B cells and dendritic cells, and is inducible by type I interferon (IFN) in most lymphoid cells.The role of IRF3 and IRF7 as transcriptional mediators of virus- and IFN-induced signaling pathways is well documented. IRF5 can also regulate IFN gene transcription, but appears to be more restricted in its cellular expression and range of viral stimuli, and has the ability to induce a wide range of chemokines involved in T-lymphocyte recruitment, including RANTES, MCP-1 and IP-10 (Barnes et al. 2002).
