Western blot : Anti-IFIH1 antibody [EPR6743] (ab126630) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab126630 was shown to bind specifically to IFIH1. A band was observed at 140, 90 kDa in wild-type Jurkat cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in IFIH1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and IFIH1 knockout Jurkat 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 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. This data was developed using ab126630, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab126630)
ab126630 was shown to react with IFIH1 in wild-type DMS 53 cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in a IFIH1 siRNA knockdown cell line. Cell lysates from wild-type DMS 53 transfected with either scrambled siRNA or IFIH1 siRNA were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab126630 overnight at 4 °C at a 1/1000 dilution. Blots were incubated with secondary antibodies at 0.2 µg/mL before imaging.

Biological function summary
In cellular defense mechanisms MDA5 plays an important role in initiating antiviral responses. It operates as part of a signaling complex that includes MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein) leading to the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These responses promote an antiviral state in host cells aiding in the containment and clearance of viral infections. MDA5 antibodies can be useful tools for studying these immune processes.
Pathways
MDA5 interacts with antiviral signaling pathways such as the IFN signaling pathway and the RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway. Upon recognizing viral RNA MDA-5 cooperates with proteins like RIG-I and MAVS to activate downstream signaling cascades that mediate immune responses. This collaboration enables efficient viral recognition and response limiting viral replication and spread.
