IRF8 Antibodies
AND IRF8 ELISA kits, IRF8 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect IRF8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with IRF8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop IRF8 antibodies...

IRF8 Overview
Facts about Interferon regulatory factor 8.
Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8)
Plays a role as a transcriptional activator or repressor (PubMed:25122610). Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)).
Plays a negative regulatory function in cells of the immune system. Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, resulting in recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF8 and activation of genes (By similarity).
