Anti-Mouse IFNAR-1 [MAR1-5A3] – Purified in vivo PLATINUM™ Functional Grade

Mouse IgG1 PLATINUM, Clone hksp OR Mouse IgG1 PLATINUM, Clone hksp84

Plasmid DNA encoding murine IFNAR1 extracellular domain

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.

Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM™ antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.

Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Next Day 2-8°C

B Clone MAR1-5A3 has a short half-life due to the rapid recycling of cells that express the IFNAR1 receptor. In order to block function In vivo, continual blocking of all compartments is necessary. Therefore, a large loading dose is necessary to saturate all In vivo binding sites and should be maintained to ensure binding site saturation. For In vivo blocking studies, a loading dose of 2.5 mg/mouse, followed by a weekly dose of 0.5 mg/mouse is recommended. The half-life following a 2.5 mg loading dose is approximately 5 days. However, if you fail to saturate the binding sites by injecting a low dose of 250 μg, for example, the half life is only 1.5 days.

Clone MAR1-5A3 recognizes an epitope on mouse IFNAR1.

IFNAR1 is a type I membrane protein, that in conjunction with IFNAR2, makes up the heterodimeric receptor that binds all type I IFNs, which includes IFN α and β. Binding and activation of the receptor stimulates Janus protein kinases, which leads to the phosphorylation of several other proteins, namely STAT1 and STAT2. IFNAR1 has also been shown to interact with PRMT1 and Tyrosine kinase 2. Type I IFNs are a family of cytokines that have been shown to promote anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-tumor and autoimmune responses In vivo.

IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 are coexpressed on nearly all cells.
