The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C.
Application:
FC - Quality Tested IP1*, IHC(Frozen/ Paraffin)2,4*, WB2 * - *This application has been reported in the literature.
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric analysis, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: inhibition of PGP activity and blocking of cytokine production1,3,7, immunoprecipitation1, immunohistochemistry of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed frozen sections2 and immunohistochemistry of HOPE-fixed (HEPES-glutamic acid buffer-mediated organic solvent protection effect) paraffin-embedded sections4 , and Western blotting2. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm sterile-filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 309709).

Human peripheral blood monocytes stained
with TL2.1 FITC
Description:
Toll-like receptors are type I transmembrane signaling receptors which are critical for the innate host defense to pathogens. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), known as CD282, has been identified as a receptor that is central to the innate immune system's response to lipoproteins of Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as a receptor for peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid and other bacterial cell membrane products. The TL2.1 antibody is useful for blocking studies. It has been reported to block TLR2 agonist-induced cellular activation.
Other Names:
Toll like receptor 2, TIL4, CD282
Structure:
IL-1R superfamily, TLR family, type 1 transmembrane protein, 90 kD
Distribution:
Monocytes, granulocytes, endothelial and epithelial cells
Function:
Activates innate host defense against bacterial pathogens
