Application Notes
Western Blot: 0,5 - 1 μg/mL. Immunohistochemistry. Found in the liver and spleen, the secreted protein Lymphocyte antigen 96/MD-2ooperates with TLR4 in the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS),and with TLR2 in the response to cell wall components from Gram-positive andGram-negative bacteria. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

MD-2 is a member of the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) family, a group of proteins that include the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) (1 - 3). TLRs are signaling molecules that recognize different pathogenassociated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses (4). TLR4, the major signaling receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS), requires the binding of MD-2 to its extracellular region for maximal response to LPS (5,6). The specificity of this response is determined by the species of MD-2, e.g., human MD-2 can cause mouse TLR4 to react to LPS analogs that are normally antagonistic to human but not mouse TLR4 (7).Synonyms: ESOP-1, ESOP1, LY96, Lymphocyte antigen 96, MD2
