pDUO2 plasmid co-expressing MD2 and CD14 genes
pDUO2-MD2/CD14 is an expression vector designed to co-express MD2 and CD14 genes known to interact with each other : human MD2 (480 bp) and human CD14 (1125 bp) or mouse MD2 (483 bp) and mouse CD14 (1101 bp).
The genes cloned into pDUO2 comprise the coding sequence (without introns) from the ATG to the Stop codon.

Description
MD2 and CD14 are necessary for proper LPS-induced TLR4 signaling.
TLR4 is the receptor for Gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS). TLR4 alone is not sufficient to confer LPS responsiveness. MD-2 is a secreted molecule that functionally interacts with LPS [1,2]. TLR4 physically associates with MD2 and CD14 to form the complex responsible for LPS recognition and signaling [3].
