Description

The TL2.3 monoclonal antibody reacts with human Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). To date, at least twelve members of the Toll family have been identified in human. This family of type I transmembrane proteins is characterized by an extracellular domain with leucine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic domain with homology to the type I IL-1 receptor. Two of these receptors, TLR2 and TLR4, are pattern recognition receptors and signaling molecules in response to bacterial lipoproteins and have been implicated in innate immunity and inflammation. TLR2 is expressed by peripheral blood monocytes and is responsible for distinguishing different pathogens. TL2.1 and TL2.3, reported as blocking antibodies, have been used to study the role of TLR2 as a pattern recognition receptor in microbial lipoprotein/lipopeptide induced cytokine production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. TL2.3 has been reported to recognize a different epitope than TL2.1 and to work better for detection of TLR2 by immunohistochemistry. TL2.1 and its directly fluorochrome conjugates are more efficient for detection of human TLR2 by flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. TL2.3 has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections. The reported applicability of TL2.1 and TL2.3 for immunoblotting, histochemistry and blocking assays may require high expression level of TLR2 and has not been confirmed in our tests.

Applications Tested

The TL2.3 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood leukocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume). It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
