False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Interferon regulatory factor 9/IRF-9 antibody [14HCLC] staining at 2 μg/ml, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab277803 was shown to bind specifically to Interferon regulatory factor 9/IRF-9. A band was observed at 48 kDa in treated wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in IRF9 knockout cell line ab267119 (knockout cell lysate ab258473). To generate this image, wild-type and IRF9 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Product details

What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:

  • - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

Supplementary information

Interferon regulatory factor 9 (IRF-9) also known as ISGF3-γ is a critical component in the transcriptional regulation of interferon-stimulated genes. This protein with a mass of approximately 48 kDa serves as an important mediator in the interferon signaling pathway. IRF-9 is widely expressed in various tissues where it functions as part of the immune response to pathogens. Its expression can be induced by interferons signaling molecules involved in antiviral defense.
Biological function summary

IRF-9 participates in the assembly of the transcription factor complex ISGF3 alongside STAT1 and STAT2. This complex translocates into the nucleus to initiate the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes that promote antiviral states. IRF-9 through this functional role impacts a range of cellular responses including proliferation apoptosis and immune regulation. It affects the temporal and spatial aspects of gene expression in response to interferons.

Pathways

IRF-9 plays a significant role in both the Jak-STAT and interferon signaling pathways. These pathways are essential for the activation of genes involved in immune defense. Through its involvement in these pathways IRF-9 interacts with proteins such as STAT1 and STAT2 creating a bridge between extracellular signals and gene activation. This involvement ensures that cells can respond effectively to viral infections enhancing innate and adaptive immune responses.

IRF-9 has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Dysfunction in the IRF-9 associated pathways can lead to conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus where inefficient regulation of immune responses occurs. In cancer altered IRF-9 expression can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. These connections highlight the importance of IRF-9 in maintaining cellular homeostasis and immune integrity. IRF-9's interaction with STAT proteins and interferon pathways highlights its central role in these disease processes.

Target data

Transcription factor that plays an essential role in anti-viral immunity. It mediates signaling by type I IFNs (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta). Following type I IFN binding to cell surface receptors, Jak kinases (TYK2 and JAK1) are activated, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. IRF9/ISGF3G associates with the phosphorylated STAT1 : STAT2 dimer to form a complex termed ISGF3 transcription factor, that enters the nucleus. ISGF3 binds to the IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) to activate the transcription of interferon stimulated genes, which drive the cell in an antiviral state.
