HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with either (A) human TLR8 or (B) irrelevant transfectants and eGFP was stained with Mouse Anti-Human TLR8 Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC8999R). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # IC0041R). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Background: TLR8

TLR8, also designated as CD288 (cluster of differentiation 288), is a 135-140 kDa member of the Toll-like Receptor (TLR) family, TLR7/8/9 subfamily. TLRs make up a family of pattern recognition receptors that play important roles in the innate immune response. Broad classes of pathogens (e.g. viruses, bacteria, and fungi) constitutively express a set of mutation-resistant molecules called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). These microbial molecular markers may be composed of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and/or combinations thereof. Individual TLRs recognize distinct pathogen-associated PAMPs, initiating signaling cascades that promote the immune response. Cells known to express TLR8 include dermal and myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes, CD8⁺ T cells and colonic columnar epithelium. Structurally, TLRs are type I transmembrane receptors that possess varying numbers of extracellular N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains, followed by a cysteine-rich region, a TM segment, and an intracellular Toll/IL-1 R (TIR) motif. The TIR motif is common to the larger IL-1 R/TLR superfamily. Human TLR8 is a homodimeric endosomal receptor that recognizes single stranded RNA (ssRNA), and can recognize ssRNA viruses such as Influenza, Sendai, and Coxsackie B viruses. TLR8 binding to the viral RNA recruits MyD88 and leads to activation of the transcription factor NF-kB and an antiviral response. Over amino acids (aa) 27-827, human and mouse TLR8 share 67% amino acid sequence identity. Notably, rodent TLR8 does not posess an RQSYA sequence between aa 438-442, rendering it unresponsive to nucleic acid sequences that lack an accompanying poly-thymidine segment.
