CST, 71010SF, TIM-1 (E1R9N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying TIM-1. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, TIM-1 (E1R9N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #71010) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #14971. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 14971 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-1 (E1R9N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total TIM-1 protein. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val24 of human TIM-1 protein. Background T cell Ig- and mucin-domain-containing molecules (TIMs) are a family of transmembrane proteins expressed by various immune cells. TIM-1 (HAVCR1 (hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1), KIM-1 (kidney injury molecule-1) was originally identified as a receptor for hepatitis A virus (1). TIM-1 also acts as a costimulatory receptor on T cells and following activation, associates with the TCR complex to upregulate signaling and cytokine production (2-5). Another TIM family member, TIM-4, is expressed by antigen presenting cells and is a ligand for TIM-1 (6). TIM-1 expressed by Th1 and Th17 cells was also recently shown to interact with P-selectin to mediate T cell trafficking during inflammation and autoimmune disease (7). NKT cells also express TIM-1, and engagement of TIM-1 on NKT cells leads to increased production of IL-4, but decreased production of IFN-gamma (8). TIM-1 is also a receptor for phosphatidylserine exposed by cells undergoing apoptosis. Detection of phosphatidylserine by TIM-1 expressed on NKT cells results in activation, proliferation, and cytokine production (9). Expression of TIM-1 on regulatory B cells is required for optimal production of IL-10. Mice lacking the TIM-1 mucin domain have decreased production of IL-10 by regulatory B cells, hyperactive T cells, increased levels of inflammatory cytokines, and enhanced severity of autoimmune disease (10,11). In addition, TIM-1 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to atopic diseases including asthma (12,13). Finally, expression of TIM-1 is increased in renal tubular epithelial cells following kidney injury (14).
