TIM-3 Monoclonal / Biotin / REA635

Product Details

Description	Clone REA635 recognizes the human CD366 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein, which is also known as T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein-3 (TIM-3) or Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVcr-2). CD366 is expressed on activated T cells, especially Tʜ1 cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is an activation-induced inhibitory molecule involved in tolerance and shown to induce T cell exhaustion in chronic viral infection and cancers. CD366 has been proposed to inhibit Tʜ1-mediated immune responses and regulates Tʜ1 and Tʜ17 cytokine secretion. The interaction of CD366 and its ligand galectin-9 induces apoptosis of Tʜ1 cells. \| Additional information: Clone REA635 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About TIM-3
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and TIM family of proteins. CD4-positive T helper lymphocytes can be divided into types 1 (Th1) and 2 (Th2) on the basis of their cytokine secretion patterns. Th1 cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity to intracellular pathogens and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, whereas, Th2 cells are involved in the control of extracellular helminthic infections and the promotion of atopic and allergic diseases. This protein is a Th1-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation, and inhibits Th1-mediated auto- and alloimmune responses, and promotes immunological tolerance.
