At least three isoforms of TLR8 are known to exist. TLR8 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other TLR protein family members.
Purification
TLR8 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
TLR8 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human TLR8. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of TLR8.
TLR8 antibody can be used for detection of TLR8 by immunohistochemistry at 5 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Immunohistochemistry in human and mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

TLR8 Antibody: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are signaling molecules that recognize different microbial products during infection and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses. These proteins act through adaptor molecules such as MyD88 and TIRAP to activate various kinases and transcription factors. Like TLR7, TLR8 is localized to endosomal or lysosomal compartments and stimulates the innate immune response after activation by guanosine- and uridine-rich single-stranded RNA. Human but not murine TLR8 confers responsiveness to the antiviral compound R-848.
