BD, 940355, Oligo Rat Anti-Mouse TIM-4 21H12

The 21H12 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to TIM-4. TIM-4 is encoded by Timd4 (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4). TIM-4 is also known as Spleen, mucin-containing, knockout of lymphotoxin protein (SMUCKLER). TIM-4 is a single-pass type I membrane transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TIM family of the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM-4 is expressed by macrophages and at low levels by dendritic cells. TIM-4 is a phosphatidylserine receptor that enhances the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. It can also serve as a receptor for TIM-1, also known as the Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (Havcr1).
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
3. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
