Anti-TIM 3 Antibody [RMT3-23] (FITC) (A281688)

Anti-TIM 3 Antibody [RMT3-23] (FITC)

Rat monoclonal [RMT3-23] antibody to TIM 3 (FITC).

This antibody recognises mouse T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 3, a transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, preferentially expressed by differentiated CD4+ Th1 cells and CD8+ Tc1 (cytotoxic) cells, but not by CD4+ Th2 cells or CD8+ Tc2 cells.Tim-3 acts as a negative regulator of Th1-mediated inflammatory diseases including GVHD, type I diabetes, and EAE (experimental autoimmune encephamyelitis), promotes immunological tolerance, and is a receptor for galectin-9, shown to induce cell death of Th1 cells in vitro. Tim-3 is also involved in the regulation of macrophage activation, acts as a phagocytic receptor, and has been shown to recognize apoptotic cells via the IgV domain.Rat anti Mouse Tim-3 antibody, clone RMT3-23 significantly inhibits the efficient phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by peritoneal exudate Mac1+ cells.

Flow Cytometry: Neat - 1:10, Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 1x10⁶ cells in 100µl. The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind non-specifically to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A or BUF041B).

Mouse

Tim-3-Ig, consisting of amino acids 1-191 of mouse Tim-3, coupled with the Fc portion of mouse IgG2a.
