293/hTLR5-HA Unit size Cat. code Docs Qty Price
HEK 293 cells stably transfected with the HA-tagged human TLR5 gene
3-7 x 10e6 cells

293/hTLR5-HA cells were obtained by stable transfection of HEK293 cells with the pUNO-hTLR5-HA plasmid which expresses the human TLR5 gene fused at the 3'end to the influenza hemaglutinine (HA).

The control cell line for 293/hTLR5-HA cells is 293/null.

TLR5 recognizes flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Activation of the receptor stimulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, through signaling via the adaptor protein MyD88 and the serine kinase IRAK [1, 2]. TLR5 can generate a proinflammatory signal as a homodimer suggesting that it might be the only TLR participating in flagellin recognition [2]. However, TLR5 may require the presence of a co-receptor or adaptor molecule for efficient ligand recognition and/or signaling [3].
