Biolegend, 120214, Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-mouse CD357 (GITR) Antibody, 25μg

GITR, Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related gene, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, also known as TNFRSF18, and AITR (in humans). It is expressed at low levels on resting T lymphocytes and at high levels on CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory (Treg) cells. The expression of GITR on T cells can be upregulated upon activation. Interaction of GITR with its ligand (GITRL) has been demonstrated to augment T cell activation, proliferation, cytokine production, as well as MAPKs and NF-κB activation, and abrogate the inhibitory functions of CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells. In vivo activation GITR causes development of autoimmune diseases and restores the suppressed immune responses.
