Vector Labs Ab01092-2.3-VXS Anti-TIM-2 [RMT2-14], Mouse IgG2a, Fc Silent™, lambda (1 mg)

Quick Overview
This antibody was raised by immunising Sprague Dawley rats with TIM-2-Ig consisting of the extracellular domain (aa 1-230 of mouse TIM-2) and the Fc portion of mouse IgG2a, emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant and then fusing lymph node cells from the immunized rats with P3U1 myeloma cells.

Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:This antibody is specific for murine TIM-2, a transmembrane protein that is expressed on activated T cells and preferentially on differentiated Th2 cells. A blockade of TIM-2/TIM-2 ligand interaction results in T cell hyperproliferation and Th2 cytokine production. TIM-2 plays a critical role in the development of atopic disease and other Th2-biased immune responses.
Application Notes:This antibody has been used in various FACS analyses, for instance, to evaluate the expression of TIM family members on mouse mast cells (Nakae et al, 2007) and to block the H-ferritin binding to TIM-2/L5178Y cells (Kawamoto et al, 2011). This antibody has been used in FACS and immunohistochemistry analyses to show that TIM-2 is expressed on mouse fetal hepatocytes (Watanabe et al, 2007). This antibody has also been used in Western Blots and for blocking experiments in ferritin binding analysis, which suggests that Tim-2 is the H-ferritin receptor on oligodendrocytes (Todorich et al, 2008). In addition, this antibody has been used in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) models to determine whether TIM-2 contributes to the development of T helper (Th) 1 or Th17 cells and joint inflammation (Kawamoto et al, 2011).
