Specificity
This antibody recognises an epitope within the N-terminal region of CD289, otherwise known as Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the toll-like receptor family, which triggers MyD88 and TRAF6, resulting in NF-kappaB activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. CD289 acts as a receptor for unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine dinucleotides in bacterial DNA (CpG-DNA), playing a primary role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. Goat anti Human CD289 antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on acetone fixed cells.
