Overlay histogram showing Ramos cells stained with ab133590 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab133590, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in Ramos cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

The IRF4 protein also known as Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 is a transcription factor encoded by the IRF4 gene. It weighs approximately 52 kDa. IRF4 is expressed mainly in lymphoid cells including B cells T cells and macrophages. It plays a mechanical role in regulating gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences. Through these interactions IRF4 influences various cellular processes important for the immune response.
Biological function summary

IRF4 helps in the activation and differentiation of immune cells. It forms complexes with other transcription factors like PU.1 enhancing its regulatory functions. IRF4 also contributes to the maturation of B and T lymphocytes impacting the adaptive immune system. It acts by modulating expression of cytokines and surface markers involved in immune response.

Pathways

IRF4 functions within the immune response and cell differentiation pathways. It interacts with pathways like NF-kB and MAPK linking it to important immune regulatory processes. IRF4 associates with proteins such as c-Rel in the NF-kB pathway influencing gene expression related to immune activation and survival.

IRF4 plays a role in multiple myeloma and autoimmune disorders. Aberrant expression of IRF4 can lead to dysregulated immune cell proliferation as seen in multiple myeloma. It also connects with proteins like BLIMP-1 contributing to pathogenesis of autoimmune conditions. Understanding IRF4’s involvement provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for such diseases.

Target data

Transcriptional activator. Binds to the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) of the MHC class I promoter. Binds the immunoglobulin lambda light chain enhancer, together with PU.1. Probably plays a role in ISRE-targeted signal transduction mechanisms specific to lymphoid cells. Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF4 and activation of genes.
