Invitrogen™ CD365 (TIM1) Monoclonal Antibody (1D12-TIM1), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This 1D12-TIM1 monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD365 also known as Tim-1, Kim-1 or Havcr1. This antibody was generated using the immunoglobulin V domain of the extracellular part of the CD365 receptor, and is predicted to recognize all three haplotypes of human CD365. Clone 1D12-TIM1 has been shown to block entry of HCV virus into human hepatoma Huh7.5 cells in a dose dependent manner. It has been also shown to block the uptake of apoptotic cells by CD365-expressing 769-P cells. Applications Reported: This 1D12-TIM1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 1D12-TIM1 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of A549 cells. This may be used at 5 μL (0.125 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser

CD365 also known as T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (Tim-1) is a type 1 surface glycoprotein that consists of extracellular N-terminal immunoglobulin V-like domain and a mucin domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail. The endogenous ligand for CD365 is Tim-4. In addition, CD365 is known to be a cellular receptor or co-receptor for a number of viruses including hepatitis A and C viruses, Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Dengue virus, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus. The direct binding of the viruses by CD365 occurs via phosphatildyl-serine exposed on viral envelopes. Polymorphisms within human CD365 gene (HAVCR1) are associated with susceptibility to infection and the disease severity. CD365 has also been implicated in the T cell co-stimulation. CD365 is primarily expressed in epithelial cells. It is also highly expressed in A549, 769-P and Caco-2 and cell lines. CD365 exists also as a soluble protein generated by metalloproteinase mediated proteolytic cleavage of the surface protein.
