Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects toll-like receptor 5 (gene TLR5) in human samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 97.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 98 kDa.
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is a cell surface pattern recognition receptor that recognizes flagellin, the main protein of bacterial flagella. It signals through MyD88 to activate NF-κB and inflammatory gene expression and is prominent on intestinal epithelial and immune cells. TLR5 is studied in mucosal immunity, gut microbiota and bacterial infection.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human MCF-7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human colon tissue, human tonsil tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human TLR5. It differs from the mouse sequence at five residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places toll-like receptor 5 in the cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed on the basolateral surface of intestinal epithelia. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
