Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is essential and specific for innate immunity by activating IRF3, IRF7 and NF-κB in response to viral infection. MAVS is located on the outer membranes of mitochondria, peroxisomes, and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAM). The MAVS protein contains an N-terminal CARD domain and a C-terminal mitochondrial transmembrane domain. MAVS acts downstream of the RIG-I RNA helicase and sensing viral RNA, leading to the recruitment of IKKε, TRIF and TRAF6. Some viruses have developed strategies to evade these innate defense mechanisms by using proteases that cleave MAVS and prevent its localization to mitochondria. The C-terminal region of MAVS cleavage by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease allows HCV to evade the host immune system.

-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.125 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 μg/mL is recommended. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 0.5 - 5.0 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
The clone does not cross-react with mouse in western blotting (WB).
For immunocytochemistry (ICC), we recommend to use 4% PFA fixation followed by permeabilization with 0.5% Triton X-100 or ice cold-methanol, or ice-cold methanol fixation.
For immunohistochemistry (IHC-P), antigen retrieval with Citrate Buffer (Cat. No. 420901) or Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 is recommended. - RRID
