General Notes
Rat anti Mouse CD283 antibody, clone 11F8 recognizes mouse TLR3, otherwise known as CD283 or Toll-like receptor 3. CD283 is a 905 amino acid ~105 kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein associated with endosomal membranes and member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. CD283 functions as a receptor for double-stranded RNA (UniProt: Q99MB1).TLRs are expressed on the cell surface and the endocytic compartment and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents. TLRs also initiate cell signaling to induce production of cytokines necessary for the innate immunity and subsequent adaptive immunity.
