Antigen Preparation
"A synthetic peptide derived from C-terminus of human IRAK-M protein was used as part of immunogen. This sequence is identical to human, mouse and rat."
Background
"IRAK (IL-1 associated serine/threonine kinase) is a critical regulator of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) induced activation of the NFkappaB pathway. IL-1 stimulation leads to the recruitment of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) to the IL-1 receptor, where IRAK is phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, and eventually degraded. There are four members (IRAK1, IRAK2, IRAK3/IRAK-M and IRAK4). A novel member in the IRAK/Pelle family was recently identified and designated IRAK-M. IRAKs associate with IL-1/Toll receptors after IL-1 or LPS stimulation and the dominant negative mutants of IRAKs inhibit IL-1 or LPS induced NF-κB activation. Members in IRAK/Pelle family play a central role in IL-1R/TLR mediated inflammatory responses to cytokine IL-1and LPS."
