TIGIT Mouse anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: 1G9, BD Optibuild™

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
• This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• With an Ex Max of 407nm and Em Max of 602nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20nm filter set
• BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605nm
• Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers
• BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser
• BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome that combines BD Horizon BV421 and Cy™3.5
• These conjugates are very bright, exhibiting similar brightness to equivalent PE conjugates
• Due to the excitation of Cy3.5 by the green (532nm) and yellow-green (561nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover of the BD Horizon BV605 signal into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers.
