Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: IFIT2 Antibody [NBP2-15180] - SK-MEL-28 cells were fixed for 10 minutes using 10% formalin and then permeabilized for 5 minutes using 1X PBS + 0.05% Triton-X100. The cells were incubated with anti-IFIT2 at 10 ug/ml overnight at 4C and detected with an anti-rabbit Dylight 488 (Green) at a 1:500 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Cells were imaged using a 40X objective.

Western Blot: IFIT2 Antibody [NBP2-15180] - Analysis of IFIT2 in human K562 lysate in the 1) absence and 2) presence of immunizing peptide, and 3) mouse RAW lysate probed with 4 ug/ml of IFIT2 antibody. Goat anti-rabbit Ig HRP secondary antibody and PicoTect ECL substrate solution were used for this test.

Background

IFIT2, or IFIT2/SG54, has been identified as a 54kDa protein and an important component of the TLR signaling family and ISG family of proteins induced by Type 1 Interferons. IFIT2 is one of three members of tetraticopeptide repeat (IFIT) gene in mice. IFIT2 knockout mice succumb to intranasal VSV infection exhibiting neurological patterns such as ataxia before death. This is caused by spread from olfactory lobes to other brain regions where VSV titers rise over a hundred-fold in IFIT2 knockout but not in wild-type mice. IFIT1 knockouts and WT mice survive IN injection. Additionally in West Nile Virus infections ISGs and IFIT2 in particular appear to drive the protective IFN Type I responses. IKKe induces STAT1 phosphorylation which drives IFIT expression mediating IFN anti-WNV effects. WNV replicates unabatedly in cells from IKKe-/- or IFIT2-/- mice. STAT1 phosphorylation is greatly diminished in these mice. Antibody to IFIT2 provides a useful probe to further characterize its specific antiviral and IFN mediating role as shown in the aforementioned models.
