CST, 43580SF, TIM-3 (Cobolimab Biosimilar) Human Monoclonal Antibody

Monoclonal Antibody for studying TIM-3. Validated for Neutralizing. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, TIM-3 (Cobolimab Biosimilar) Human Monoclonal Antibody (CST #43580) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is intended for research use only (RUO). Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free. Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity TIM-3 (Cobolimab Biosimilar) Human Monoclonal Antibody was confirmed to bind to its intended target protein TIM-3 using flow cytometry. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification TIM-3 (Cobolimab Biosimilar) Human mAb is produced at Cell Signaling Technology. Cobolimab is an antibody that is directed against the extacellular region of human TIM-3 protein. Background T cell Ig- and mucin-domain-containing molecules (TIMs) are a family of transmembrane proteins expressed by various immune cells. TIM-3 is an inhibitory molecule that is induced following T cell activation (1-3 ). TIM-3 is expressed by exhausted T cells in the settings of chronic infection and cancer (4,5), and tumor-infiltrating T cells that coexpress PD-1 and TIM-3 exhibit the most severe exhausted phenotype (5). Tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (DCs) also express TIM-3. TIM-3 expression on DCs was found to suppress innate immunity by reducing the immunogenicity of nucleic acids released by dying tumor cells (6). Research studies show that heterodimerization of TIM-3 with CEACAM-1 is critical for the inhibitory function of TIM-3, and co-blockade of TIM-3 and CEACAM-1 enhanced anti-tumor responses in a mouse model of colorectal cancer (7). In addition, blockade of TIM-3 in mouse models of autoimmunity enhanced the severity of disease (1). Finally, binding of Galectin-9 to TIM-3 expressed by Th1 cells induces T cell death (8).
