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.

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibodies.

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).
