The HTA125 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), also known as CD284. Toll-like receptors
(TLR) are type I transmembrane proteins characterized by an extracellular domain containing leucine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic domain
similar to IL-1R family. In humans, ten TLR have been identified so far. The TLR family acts as a pattern-recognition receptor that is an
essential component of pathogen recognition and innate immunity. TLR4 has been identified as the receptor for Gram-negative bacterial
lipopolysaccharide (LPS). TLR4 mRNA expression has been found in spleen, placenta, ovary, intestine and lung. Using HTA125, TLR4
protein expression has been detected in monocytes, B cells and T cells in human peripheral blood. The human TLR4 gene has been mapped to
chromosome 9q32. The immunogen used to generate the HTA125 hybridoma was human TLR4-transfected Ba/F3 cells. The HTA125
antibody reportedly blocks LPS-triggered, TLR4-mediated stimulation of cells.
