Clonality Polyclonal Isotype IgG Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab3428 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. 1 Application Abreviews Notes WB Application notes WB: Use at a concentration of 0.5 - 2 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 47 kDa in K562 lysate(predicted molecular weight: 47 kDa). Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Target Function Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)). Plays a negative regulatory role in cells of the immune system. Tissue specificity Predominantly in lymphoid tissues. Sequence similarities Belongs to the IRF family. Contains 1 IRF tryptophan pentad repeat DNA-binding domain. Post-translational modifications Ubiquitinated. Ubiquitination by TRIM21 in macrophages, a process that is strongly increased upon interferon gamma stimulation, leds to the enhanced transcriptional activity of target cytokine genes.
