BD, 565474, APC-R700 Mouse Anti-Mouse TIGIT 1G9

The 1G9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) which is also known as, V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3 (Vstm3). TIGIT is a 26 kDa, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the poliovirus receptor (PVR) family. TIGIT is expressed on activated and memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, follicular T helper cells, regulatory T cells, and NK cells. Its ligands include the poliovirus receptor (PVR, aka, CD155), poliovirus receptor-related protein 2 (PVRL2, aka, CD112), and poliovirus receptor-related protein 3 (PVRL3, CD113). TIGIT functions as a negative regulator of T cell and NK cell responses including proliferation, cytotoxicity, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. TIGIT-deficient mice are reportedly more susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases in certain model systems.

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon APC-R700 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon APC-R700 were removed.
