Mouse TLR4 (Toll Like Receptor 4) ELISA (Small Sample Volume)

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse TLR4. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse TLR4. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse TLR4, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse TLR4 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Transmembrane receptor that functions as a pattern recognition receptor recognizing pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) to induce innate immune responses via downstream signaling pathways (PubMed:20133493, PubMed:9851930, PubMed:9989976). At the plasma membrane, cooperates with LY96 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (PubMed:20133493, PubMed:9851930, PubMed:9989976). Also involved in LPS-independent inflammatory responses triggered by free fatty acids, such as palmitate, and Ni(2+). Mechanistically, acts via MYD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:24380872). Alternatively, CD14-mediated TLR4 internalization via endocytosis is associated with the initiation of a MYD88-independent signaling via the TICAM1-TBK1-IRF3 axis leading to type I interferon production. In addition to the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, initiates the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and formation of a positive feedback loop between autophagy and NF-kappa-B signaling cascade. In complex with TLR6, promotes inflammation in monocytes/macrophages by associating with TLR6 and the receptor CD86. Upon ligand binding, such as oxLDL or amyloid-beta 42, the TLR4:TLR6 complex is internalized and triggers inflammatory response, leading to NF-kappa-B-dependent production of CXCL1, CXCL2 and CCL9 cytokines, via MYD88 signaling pathway, and CCL5 cytokine, via TICAM1 signaling pathway. In myeloid dendritic cells, vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein G but not LPS promotes the activation of IRF7, leading to type I IFN production in a CD14-dependent manner (By similarity) , (Microbial infection) Required for the virulence of fungus C.neoformans var. grubii serotype A (strain KN99) CPL1 (PubMed:35896747). Independently of Ly96/Md2, activated by CPL1 which results in a type 2 inflammation response characterized by Arg1/arginase-1 induction in interstitial macrophages (PubMed:35896747) , (Microbial infection) Mediates activation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and macrophages, and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL12 (IL12B/IL12A), triggered by Toxoplasma gondii micronemal protein 4 (MIC4) and micronemal protein 1 (MIC1) (PubMed:31226171). Mediates production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 triggered by Toxoplasma gondii micronemal protein 4 (MIC4) and micronemal protein 1 (MIC1) in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (PubMed:33912181) [The Uniprot Consortium]
