Product Name:

APC anti-mouse CD366 (Tim-3) Antibody

Catalog Number:

119706

Clone Number:

Our cancer immunology lab studies T cell exhaustion in the setting of cancer. TIM3 surface expression is what we routinely analyze on T cells to determine level of exhaustion; therefore, we use this flow antibody in our T cell exhaustion panel.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Activated murine CD8+ T cells

Primary Incubation

1:250 in 2%FBS/PBS solution

Blocking Agent

100ng/mL FC Block before staining

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

BD FACS Celesta

Results Summary

We are readily able to identify TIM3 positive cells along with PD1 as it's been reported in the literature. This double positive population indicates extreme exhaustion.

Summary

The Good

One of the few antibodies on the market for reliable TIM3 detection.

The Bad

Higher dilution needed otherwise none.

The Bottom Line

Great antibody to use for TIM3 surface detection especially when studying exhaustion.
