Product details:
Human TIGIT SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TIGIT protein in Cell culture extracts. Quantitate Human TIGIT with 4 pg/ml sensitivity. SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

TIGIT also known as T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains is an immunoglobulin superfamily receptor. It weighs approximately 26 kDa. TIGIT commonly expresses on T cells especially on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and effector memory T cells. It also presents on natural killer (NK) cells. Among its alternate forms some notable ones also include the anti-TIGIT and biotinylated TIGIT antibodies used in experimental research to monitor immune responses.
Biological function summary
TIGIT acts as an inhibitory receptor modulating immune responses. It belongs to the CD28 family and binds to poliovirus receptor (PVR) and nectin-2 on antigen-presenting cells. This interaction inhibits T cell activation and proliferation and increases Treg cell activity maintaining immune homeostasis. TIGIT forms a complex with other inhibitory receptors like PD-1 2B4 and CD96 to further regulate immune functions.
Pathways
The interaction of TIGIT with its ligands significantly affects the immune checkpoint pathway. This involvement regulates T cell and NK cell activity. TIGIT is related to CD226 (DNAM-1) which competes for binding to its ligands influencing cellular signaling pathways. Through these pathways TIGIT signals through the downstream SHP-1 and SHP-2 proteins affecting immune cell signaling and response.
TIGIT has implications in cancer and autoimmune diseases. Its inhibitory function can allow tumor progression by dampening effective anti-tumor immunity. In cancer TIGIT’s activity often pairs with PD-1 both contributing to immune checkpoint blockade resistance necessary for tumor evasion. In autoimmune diseases increased TIGIT expression could result in reduced immune cell attack against self tissues showing its potential to modulate treatment strategies.
