Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC |
Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized TLR3[Biotin], His & Avi, Human at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on streptavidin (5μg/ml) precoated plate can bind AntiTLR3 Antibody, hFc Tag. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
Expression System |
HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
80.25 kDa |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 100-120 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
TLR3 is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), where it is required to control HSV-1, which spreads from the epithelium to the CNS via cranial nerves. TLR3 is also expressed in epithelial and dendritic cells, which apparently use TLR3-independent pathways to prevent further dissemination of HSV-1 and to provide resistance to other pathogens in TLR3-deficient patients. Human TLR3 appears to be redundant in host defense to most microbes but is vital for natural immunity to HSV-1 in the CNS, which suggests that neurotropic viruses have contributed to the evolutionary maintenance of TLR3. |
