Clone REA521 recognizes the human interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF-7) antigen, regardless of phosphorylation status. IRF-7 is a member of the IRF family of transcription factors and a key player in the innate immune response against viral infections. Constitutive expression of IRF-7 is limited to peripheral blood lymphocytes and dendritic cells while in most cell types its expression can be induced by type I interferon. IRF-7 is sequestered in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and following viral infection, double-stranded RNA, or toll-like receptor signaling, it becomes phosphorylated by T
