General description

T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (UniProt: P86176; also known as V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 9, TIGIT) is encoded by the Tigit (also known as Vstm3) gene (Gene ID: 100043314) in murine species. TIGIT is a single-pass type I, homodimeric, membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-28), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 29-148), a transmembrane domain (aa 149-169), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 170-249). The cytoplasmic domain contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM; aa 234-239), which is involved in the modulation of its cellular responses. It serves as a coinhibitory receptors with CD226 and is expressed on NK cells, activated T cells, memory T cells, and a subset of regulatory T cells and blocks immune responses by affecting T cells and APCs. It is shown to bind to poliovirus receptor (PVR) with high affinity to form a heterotetrameric assembly of two TIGIT and two PVR molecules. This causes increased secretion of IL-10 and decreased secretion of IL-12B and suppresses T-cell activation by promoting the generation of mature immunoregulatory dendritic cells. TIGIT also serves as a functional ligand and induces dendritic cells to acquire a tolerogenic phenotype via ligation of PVR. TIGIT -/- mice, when challenged, develop severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis compared to wild-type mice. Loss of TIGIT also in mice also results in hyperproliferative T cell responses and increased susceptibility to autoimmunity. (Ref.: Dixon, KO., et al. (2018). J. Immunol. 200(8); 3000-3007; Joller, N., et al. (2011). J. Immunol. 186(3); 1338-1342).

Specificity

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in RAW264.7 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) s in RAW264.7 cell lysate.

Tested Applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected TIGIT in mouse thymus tissue lysate.

ELISA Analysis: A representative lot detected TIGIT in ELISA applications (Joller, N., et al. (2011). J Immunol. 186(3):1388-42).

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot detected TIGIT in Flow Cytometry applications (Joller, N., et al. (2011). J Immunol. 186(3):1388-42).

Inhibition Assay: A representative lot of this antibody fully blocked CD155 binding to TIGIT. (Dixon, K.O., et al. (2018). J Immunol. 200(8):3000-3007).

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 1 μg from a representative lot detected TIGIT in one million Raw264.7 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
Anti-TIGIT, clone 1G9, Cat. No. MABF2657, is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects of T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) and is tested in ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Inhibition Assay, and Western Blotting.

Storage and Stability

Store at -10°C to -25°C. Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
