Interferon regulator factor 5, IRF5, is a transcriptional regulator of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta)-dependent immune responses. This transcription factor plays a key role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses. IRF5 is present in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells in an inactive form. Various mediators of the pathways that follow viral infection can overexpress and phosphorylate IRF5. IRF5 is associated with various cancers and autoimmune diseases.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human Phospho-IRF5 (Ser446) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-IRF5 (Ser446) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.

 Formats:
