This product recognizes the human Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) cell surface antigen.
TLR4, also known as CD284, has been demonstrated to act as a receptor for LPS on human monocytes and macrophages. TLR4 signalling of LPS stimulation requires the presence of the MD-2 molecule.
TLR4 is weakly expressed by resting cells, but is upregulated following stimulation with LPS.
This antibody has been demonstrated to block activation of monocytes with LPS.
