Description
Description: The GW4CML3 monoclonal antibody reacts with human and mouse interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8; ICSBP). IRF8 is a 50 kDa transcription factor that plays a critical role in the development of dendritic cells (DC). Specifically, IRF8 is essential in the development and differentiation of plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and CD8a+ DC. IRF8-/- mice are deficient in both pDC and CD8a+ DC populations. CD8a- DC are present in normal numbers in IRF8-/- mice but fail to mature upon Toll-like receptor signaling and are functionally impaired in response to in vivo microbial stimulation. IRF8 deficiency does not affect the frequency or viability of DC precursors and as a result retroviral IRF8 transduction restores pDC development from DC progenitors in IRF8-/- mice.
