    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    MAVS Antibody detects endogenous levels of total MAVS/VISA protein. The bands detected at 52 and 75 kDa correlate with those described by Seth et al. (2005).

    Species Reactivity:

    Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Cys140 of mouse MAVS/VISA. Antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS, VISA) contributes to innate immunity by triggering IRF-3 and NF-κB activation in response to viral infection, leading to the production of IFN-β (1). The MAVS protein contains an N-terminal CARD domain and a C-terminal mitochondrial transmembrane domain. The MAVS adaptor protein plays a critical and specific role in viral defenses (2). MAVS acts downstream of the RIG-I RNA helicase and viral RNA sensor, leading to the recruitment of IKKε, TRIF, and TRAF6 (3,4). Some viruses have evolved strategies to circumvent these innate defenses by using proteases that cleave MAVS to prevent its mitochondrial localization (5,6).
