Human MyD88 ELISA Kit for the quantitative detection of human Myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MYD88).

MYD88 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the MYD88 gene. By interspecific backcross mapping, the mouse MyD88 gene was localised to chromosome 9; the human homolog was mapped to 3p22-p21. The human ortholog MYD88 seems to function similarly to mice, however, available evidence suggests that MYD88 is dispensable for human resistance to common viral infections and to all but a few pyogenic bacterial infections, demonstrating a major difference between mouse and human immune responses.
