Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse
Description
SignalSilence®Tyk2 siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit Tyk2 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence®siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.

Directions for Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence®Tyk2 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow the protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
Background
Tyk2 is a member of the Jak family of protein tyrosine kinases. It associates with and is activated by receptors for many cytokines including IL-13, the IL-6 family, IL-10, and IFN-α and β (1-3). Following ligand binding, Tyk2 is activated by phosphorylation of Tyr1054 and/or Tyr1055 (4). Tyk2 is required for the tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3 in the IFN-β signaling cascade (5).
The role of Tyk2 in immune regulation and pathological signaificance has been extensively studied (reviewed in 6). Tyk2 knockout mice display increased sensitivity to infection and defective tumor surveillance, but only a partial effect on Type I IFN signaling (7,8). In contrast, a human patient diagnosed with hyper-IgE syndrome having increased susceptibility to various microorganisms was found to have a homozygous mutation of Tyk2 (9). These studies suggest a more critical role of Tyk2 in humans with regards to Type I IFN signaling as well as other cytokines including IL-23, IL-6, and IL-10
