AHP2025 specifically recognises an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human IRF5 (interferon regulatory factor 5), a nuclear protein and member of the IRF family, which acts as a key regulator of interferon (IFN) gene transcription.
IRF5 is expressed by B cells and dendritic cells, is inducible by type I interferon (IFN) in most lymphoid cells, and has the ability to induce a wide range of chemokines involved in T-lymphocyte recruitment, including RANTES, MCP-1 and IP-10. Genetic variations in IRF5 are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease type 14 (IBD14) and systemic lupus erythematosus type 10 (SLEB10).

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP2025 detects a band of approximately 57kDa in A549 cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human IRF5 (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
