Background Information


Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a pattern recognition receptor expressed on innate immune cells such as monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and some epithelial cells. It plays a key role in host defense by recognizing conserved microbial components and initiating inflammatory signaling pathways. Upon activation, TLR2 triggers downstream signaling through adaptor proteins like MyD88, leading to NF-κB activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Structurally, TLR2 is a type I transmembrane protein composed of an extracellular domain rich in leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) that mediate ligand recognition, a single transmembrane helix, and an intracellular Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain responsible for signal transduction. TLR2 typically forms heterodimers with TLR1 or TLR6, which expands its ligand specificity.

TLR2 recognizes a broad range of ligands, including bacterial lipoproteins, peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid from Gram-positive bacteria, and certain fungal and viral components. Endogenous ligands released during tissue damage can also activate TLR2, linking it to sterile inflammation.

In disease, dysregulated TLR2 signaling contributes to chronic inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and sepsis. It also plays roles in cancer by influencing tumor-associated inflammation. Therapeutically, TLR2 is being explored as both a target and a tool, with agonists used as vaccine adjuvants and antagonists investigated to reduce harmful inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
