AIF1 Antibody Recombinant Rabbit mAb clone 31A74 recognizes Allograft inflammatory factor 1, a cytoplasmic calcium-binding protein encoded by the AIF1 gene on chromosome 6p21.3. Allograft inflammatory factor 1, commonly referred to as IBA1 in the literature, is a 17 kDa protein predominantly expressed in microglia and macrophages, where it plays a key role in immune activation and cytoskeletal remodeling. AIF1 antibody, also known as IBA1 antibody, is widely used in studies of neuroinflammation, microglial activation, and macrophage biology. This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody supports specific detection of AIF1 expression in central nervous system and peripheral immune tissues.
AIF1 belongs to the EF-hand calcium-binding protein family and contains two EF-hand motifs that mediate calcium-dependent conformational changes. Through interaction with actin and other cytoskeletal components, IBA1 regulates membrane ruffling, phagocytosis, and cell motility in activated microglia. It is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli and is commonly used as a marker of activated microglia in models of neurodegenerative disease, traumatic brain injury, and neuroinflammatory disorders.
Expression of AIF1 is primarily observed in microglia within the central nervous system and in tissue macrophages in peripheral organs. It is minimally expressed in resting neurons and astrocytes, making AIF1 antibody a valuable tool for distinguishing resident immune cells from other neural cell types. Increased IBA1 expression has been documented in Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, and glioma, reflecting microglial activation and immune infiltration in these conditions.
Structurally, Allograft inflammatory factor 1 is a small cytoplasmic protein that participates in signaling pathways regulating immune cell activation, proliferation, and migration. Its calcium-dependent actin-binding properties contribute to morphological changes observed during microglial activation. Through its well-established role as a microglial and macrophage marker, AIF1 remains central to research in neuroimmunology and inflammatory disease mechanisms.
Optimal dilution of the AIF1 antibody recombinant rabbit mAb clone 31A74 should be determined by the researcher.
A synthesized peptide derived from human Iba1 was used as the immunogen for the AIF1 antibody recombinant rabbit mAb clone 31A74.
Store the AIF1 antibody at -20oC.
