Clone K40-321 (RUO)
Analysis of IRF-7 in transfected human epithelial cells. LEFT: The 293 fetal kidney cell line was either co-transfected with TBK1 and IRF-7 expression vectors (dashed histogram) or un-transfected (solid line). After 24 hours, the cells were fixed (BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III, Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-IRF-7. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system. RIGHT: The specificity of mAb K40-321 was confirmed by western blot using unconjugated antibody on lysates from untransfected (left panel) and TBK1/IRF-7 co-transfected (right panel) 293 cells. The transfected IRF-7 protein is identified as a band of 66 kDa in the lysate of co-transfected cells.

Preparation And Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Antibody Details
K40-321
Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF-7) is a transcription factor that regulates anti-viral defenses by controlling the induction of type-I interferon (IFN) responses. IRF-7 expression is induced in lymphoid cells by virus infection, as well as by IFN, lipopolysaccharide, and TNF-α. IRF-7 responses are initiated by Toll-like receptors (TLR) or the cytoplasmic protein retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I). Upon TLR activation, it forms cytoplasmic complexes with MyD88, an adaptor in the TLR signaling pathways. The TLR-dependent and RIG-I-dependent pathways activate kinases, such as IKK-ε and TBK1, that phosphorylate IRF-7 and induce movement of IRF-7-containing complexes to the nucleus, where it preferentially activates IFN-α promoters.
The K40-321 monoclonal antibody recognizes human IRF-7, regardless of phosphorylation status. Our in-house testing is performed on a cell line that has been co-transfected with TBK1 and IRF-7. Phosphorylation of IRF-7 in the transfectants requires virus infection or over-expression of a signaling molecule of the RIG-I pathway, such as TBK1. Phosphorylation of endogenous IRF-7 in untransfected cells has not yet been detected. We confirmed that mAb K40-321 does not cross-react with TBK1 by Western blot analysis using the purified antibody.

Format Details
Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
