Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
IFIT3 antibody is human specific. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the IFIT protein family.
Purification
IFIT3 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
IFIT3 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human IFIT3. The immunogen is located within amino acids 380 - 430 of IFIT3 .
The interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 3 (IFIT3) protein is a member of a family of tetratricopeptide repeat-containing proteins whose transcription is upregulated by interferons, virus infection, and molecular patterns such as dsRNA or lipopolysaccharides (1,2). These proteins have been suggested to induce anti-viral cellular activities in response to infection (2). IFIT3 has been shown to interact with TBK1 following RNA virus infection, thereby bridging TBK1 to VISA on the mitochondrion and activating IRF3 and thus the immune response (3).
