TLR8 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. The TLR family members play a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. They serve as pattern recognition receptors for microbial pathogens. There are at least 11 mouse and 10 human TLR members. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. TLRs contain a large number of leucine­rich repeats (LRRs) and a cytoplasmic tail with a Toll/IL­1 receptor (TIR) domain. TLRs recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. TLR8 contains 23 LRR repeats and 1 LRRCT in the extracellular region. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. TLR8 is predominantly expressed in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR7, on chromosome X. TLR8 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by DNA/RNA, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: TLR8; CD288

 

NCBI Gene ID: 51311

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9NR97

 

Construct Details: Full length human TLR8/CD288 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter +/- an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)
