Recombinant IBA1 Antibody Microarray Validated clone rAIF1/1909 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 within the central nervous system and in activated macrophages in peripheral tissues. IBA1 antibody, also known as AIF1 antibody, is widely used in studies of neuroinflammation, immune activation, and macrophage biology. This recombinant monoclonal antibody has been validated using a human protein microarray platform containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins, supporting high target specificity for AIF1.
IBA1 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 associated cytoskeletal components, Allograft inflammatory factor 1 regulates membrane ruffling, phagocytosis, and cellular migration. It is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli and is commonly used as a marker of activated microglia in experimental models of neurodegenerative disease, traumatic brain injury, and inflammatory neurologic disorders.
Expression of AIF1 is largely restricted to microglia in the brain and spinal cord and to tissue macrophages in peripheral organs such as spleen, lymph node, and tonsil. Neurons and astrocytes typically exhibit minimal expression under resting conditions, making IBA1 antibody a valuable tool for distinguishing resident immune cells from other neural populations. Increased IBA1 expression has been documented in Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, and glioma, reflecting microglial activation and immune cell infiltration in these conditions.
Structurally, Allograft inflammatory factor 1 is a small intracellular protein that participates in signaling pathways regulating immune cell proliferation and activation. Its calcium-dependent actin-binding properties contribute to the morphological transition of microglia from ramified to amoeboid phenotypes during inflammatory responses. Through proteome-wide microarray validation and its established role as a marker of microglial and macrophage activation, Recombinant IBA1 Antibody Microarray Validated clone rAIF1/1909 provides a highly specific tool for neuroimmunology and inflammatory research.
Titering of the recombinant IBA1 antibody microarray validated clone rAIF1/1909 may be required for optimal performance.
A portion of amino acids 1-146 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant IBA1 antibody microarray validated clone rAIF1/1909.
Store the recombinant IBA1 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
