Product details:
Human TLR3 ELISA Kit (ab288924) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human TLR3 in cell extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human TLR3 with 8.547 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

TLR3 also known as Toll-like receptor 3 is a protein that plays an important role in immune response mechanisms. With a molecular mass of around 104 kDa TLR3 is part of the Toll-like receptor family and expresses mostly in immune cells including dendritic cells and macrophages. It locates mainly on the endosomal membrane where it recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) which is often a sign of viral infection. TLR3 initiates signaling cascades that lead to the activation of important immune transcription factors.
Biological function summary
TLR3 acts as a sensor for viral and endogenous dsRNA. This receptor forms part of the innate immune system serving as a first line of defense against microbial infections. Upon encountering its ligand TLR3 undergoes conformational changes which allow interaction with the adaptor protein TRIF (TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β). This interaction triggers a downstream signaling cascade that leads to the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which are essential for mounting an effective antiviral response.
Pathways
TLR3 engages in important signaling cascades like the NF-kB and IRF3 pathways. These pathways are activated by the TRIF-dependent pathway which is unique among the Toll-like receptors. TLR3 influences the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory response and apoptosis. The interactions of TLR3 with other proteins such as MyD88 and IRAK1 are indirect as TLR3 does not depend on the usual MyD88-dependent pathway. This specificity makes TLR3 a critical component in pathogen recognition and response strategies within the immune system.
TLR3 has connections with several conditions primarily viral infections and autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Mutations or dysregulation of TLR3 may lead to altered immune responses contributing to the pathogenesis of these diseases. TLR3's association with proteins like TRIF and IRF3 is significant in understanding its role in these conditions. Ongoing research investigates TLR3's potential as a therapeutic target to modulate immune responses in disease states.
