Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:This antibody is specific for murine TIM-4. TIM-4, unlike other TIM family members, is not expressed on T lymphocytes but rather found on antigen-presenting cells such as lymphoid and myeloid dendritic cells and macrophages. TIM-4 has been shown to interact with TIM-1, thereby suggesting a role of TIM-4 in the balance of Th1/Th2 regulation. Additionally, TIM-4 has been shown to be a receptor for phosphatidylserine and may play a role in the engulfment of apoptotic cells.
Application Notes:The original version of this antibody (rat IgG1) specifically bound murine Tim-4 protein, as shown in ELISA and FC assays (Rodriguez-Manzanet et al., 2008; PMID: 18354194). This antibody can block apoptotic body (AB) recognition by CD11b+ peritoneal macrophages and partially inhibit AB uptake by peritoneal B-1 cells (Rodriguez-Manzanet et al., 2010; PMID: 20368430).
