TIGIT Mouse anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 786, Clone: 1G9, BD Optibuild™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 744215

Catalog No. BDB744215

Description

The 1G9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) which is also known as, V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3 (Vstm3). TIGIT is a 26 kDa, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the poliovirus receptor (PVR) family. TIGIT is expressed on activated and memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, follicular T helper cells, regulatory T cells, and NK cells. Its ligands include the poliovirus receptor (PVR, aka, CD155), poliovirus receptor-related protein 2 (PVRL2, aka, CD112), and poliovirus receptor-related protein 3 (PVRL3, CD113). TIGIT functions as a negative regulator of T cell and NK cell responses including proliferation, cytotoxicity, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. TIGIT-deficient mice are reportedly more susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases in certain model systems.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60nm filter). BV786 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 786 nm. BV786 offers a bright choice for the 6th detector off the violet laser.
