Western Blot: 1 - 2 μg/mL. May cooperate with CD180 and TLR4 to mediate the innate immune response to bacteriallipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokine production. Important for efficient CD180 cellsurface expression. Highly expressed in B-cells, monocytes and tonsil. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved patternrecognition molecules that recognize different microbial products during infection and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses. The signaling of these TLRs is kept under tight control by the expression of endogenous inhibiting proteins such as RP105, a recently identified homolog of TLR4. This protein, in association with MD-1, interacts with and inhibits the TLR4/MD-2 signaling pathway. While MD-2 can directly bind to LPS, one of the activating molecules of TLR4, the function of MD-1 is less well-known. It has been suggested however, that the RP105/MD-1 complex influences antibody production mediated by both TLR4/MD-2 and TLR2 receptor complexes.Synonyms: Lymphocyte antigen 86, MD1
