    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 750 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 200 µg/mL. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated #8478

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 749 nm ← Emission: 775 nm

    Product Usage Information

    SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays.

    Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate.

    Storage

    Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    IRF-1 (D5E4) XP® Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor® 750 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total IRF-1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro261 of human IRF-1 protein.

    Background

    Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) comprise a family of transcription factors that function within the Jak/Stat pathway to regulate interferon (IFN) and IFN-inducible gene expression in response to viral infection (1). IRFs play an important role in pathogen defense, autoimmunity, lymphocyte development, cell growth, and susceptibility to transformation. The IRF family includes nine members: IRF-1, IRF-2, IRF-9/ISGF3γ, IRF-3, IRF-4 (Pip/LSIRF/ICSAT), IRF-5, IRF-6, IRF-7, and IRF-8/ICSBP. All IRF proteins share homology in their amino-terminal DNA-binding domains. IRF family members regulate transcription through interactions with proteins that share similar DNA-binding motifs, such as IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE), IFN consensus sequences (ICS), and IFN regulatory elements (IRF-E) (2).
    The IRF-1 transcription factor was originally identified as a regulator of virus-inducible enhancer-like elements of the IFN-β gene (3). IRF-1 is widely expressed and upregulated by viral infection or stimulation with IFN or other cytokines. IRF-1 is serine-phosphorylated by casein kinase II (CKII) at two clustered sites, one in the DNA-binding domain (amino acids 138-150) and another in the transactivation domain (amino acids 219-231) (4). Mutation analysis of the latter site suggests that these phosphorylation sites help regulate IRF-1 activity. Tyrosine phosphorylation has also been shown to be important in IFN-γ-mediated differentiation of myeloid cell lines (5). C-terminal SUMOylated IRF-1 inhibits apoptosis in tumor cells by repression of its transcriptional activity (6).
