Designing a Western blot for Toll-like receptor 7? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the TLR7 Western Blot GuideFacts about Toll-like receptor 7.
TLR7 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR that's triggered by single-stranded RNA. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (By similarity).
