Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-IRF3 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 11H2) catalog # M00165-2.
Biological background
Biological context: Facilitative glucose transporter. This isoform may be responsible for constitutive or basal glucose uptake. Has a very broad substrate specificity; can transport a wide range of aldoses including both pentoses and hexoses.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein. Melanosome., tissue context: Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed at variable levels in many human tissues..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Irf3 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Irf3 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Irf3-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3) is a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. The IRF3 gene is mapped on 19q13.33. IRF3 is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP. IRF3 plays an important role in the innate immune system's response to viral infection. Aggregated MAVS have been found to activate IRF3 dimerization. Although IRF3 increased transcriptional activity from an ISRE-containing promoter, expression of IRF3 as a Gal4 fusion protein did not activate expression of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene containing repeats of the Gal4-binding sites. Translocation of IRF3 was accompanied by an increase in serine and threonine phosphorylation. The transcriptional activators CREBBP and EP300 coimmunoprecipitated with IRF3 only subsequent to viral infection, and the authors stated that these are also subunits of DRAF1.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein. Melanosome.
- Tissue details: Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed at variable levels in many human tissues.
