Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.

4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
The innate immune system detects viral infection by recognizing various viral components and triggers antiviral responses.Like the toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), the cytoplasmic helicase retinoic acid inducible gene protein 1 (RIG-1) recognizes double-stranded (ds) RNA, a molecular pattern associated with viral infection.Unlike TLR3 however, RIG-1 activates the kinases TBK1 and IKKepsilon through the adaptor protein IPS-1.These kinases then phosphorylate the transcription factors IRF-3 and IRF-7 which are essential for the expression of type-I interferons.RIG-1 is required for the production of interferons in response to RNA viruses including paramyxoviruses, influenza virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus.
