Function

Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR9 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) dinucleotides (PubMed:14716310). Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:11564765, PubMed:17932028). Controls lymphocyte response to Helicobacter infection (By similarity). Upon CpG stimulation, induces B-cell proliferation, activation, survival and antibody production (PubMed:23857366).

Notes

ab250911 is the carrier-free version of Anti-TLR9 antibody [EPR14964-2] ab187148.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

TLR9 also known as Toll-like receptor 9 is a protein that detects unmethylated CpG motifs which are common in bacterial and viral DNA. This protein weighs about 116 kDa. It mainly expresses in plasmacytoid dendritic cells B cells and in epithelial cells of various tissues. TLR9 locates in the endoplasmic reticulum and translocates to endolysosomes upon activation which is essential for its detection function.

Biological function summary

TLR9 recognizes and binds to microbial DNA triggering an immune response. It is part of the Toll-like receptor family which plays an important role in the innate immune system. TLR9 engages in the formation of complexes with other molecules such as MyD88 an adaptor protein to propagate downstream signaling. This leads to the activation of transcription factors that stimulate cytokine production promoting inflammation and defense against infections.

Pathways

TLR9 participates significantly in the NF-kB activation pathway and the type I interferon signaling cascade. During these processes TLR9 interacts with proteins like IRAK4 and TRAF6. In the NF-kB pathway TLR9's role in the early immune response is coordinated with other Toll-like receptors to detect pathogen-related patterns and initiate adaptive immunity. Its influence on type I interferon signaling facilitates antiviral defense mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

TLR9's malfunction or altered expression associates with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cancer. In SLE overactivation of TLR9 leads to autoantibody production which worsens the disease. This can involve the protein BAFF which supports B cell proliferation. In cancer TLR9 can influence tumor growth and the tumor microenvironment affecting disease progression. Its modulation is being researched for therapeutic interventions in these conditions.

    This data was developed using Anti-TLR9 antibody [EPR14964-2] ab187148, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. False colour image of Western blot: Anti-TLR9 antibody [EPR14964-2] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, Anti-TLR9 antibody [EPR14964-2] ab187148 was shown to bind specifically to TLR9. A band was observed at 140 kDa in wild-type Raji cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TLR9 knockout cell line ab280879 (knockout cell lysate ab282939). To generate this image, wild-type and TLR9 knockout Raji cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution 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.
