Anti-Human TIGIT [4E1.2] In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin
Introducing the Anti-Human TIGIT [4E1-2] In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the TIGIT protein, an immunoreceptor expressed on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, making it an invaluable tool for research in immunology and cancer immunotherapy.
With a mouse IgG2a kappa isotype, it ensures high purity and low endotoxin levels (<1.0 EU/mg), making it ideal for ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and other assays. Available in various sizes, it is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for stability and efficacy. Enhance your research with this reliable and versatile antibody.
TIGIT is a co-inhibitory receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses. It is primarily expressed on activated T cells, memory T cells, and NK cells and interacts with its ligands, CD155 and CD112, to inhibit immune cell activation and proliferation. By modulating the immune response, TIGIT is involved in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity, making it a significant target for therapeutic research and development.

Storage and Handling:
Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. Note: This antibody is prone to precipitation at 2-8°C resulting in a slight opaque white liquid. At room temperature liquid is clear and colorless.
TIGIT (WUCAM) is an immunoreceptor that inhibits multiple immune cell responses, including T cell priming by dendritic cells, tumor cell killing by NK cells and cytotoxic T cells, and also enhances the immune suppressive activity of regulatory T cells1. TIGIT is a novel member of the Ig-superfamily distantly related to Nectins and Necls that aligns with the distal Ig-V-type domains of Nectin(1-4), poliovirus receptor (PVR; CD155), DNAM-1 (CD226), and TACTILE (CD96)2. TIGIT is preferentially expressed on human B helper follicular T cells and binds with high affinity to PVR under both static and flow conditions. Additionally, TIGIT, DNAM-1, and TACTILE are expressed together on T cells and NK cells and share PVR as a ligand1. TIGIT is not detectable on the surface of resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors unless activated2.
4E1.2 was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with TIGITFLAG-Baf3 cells2. Baf3 cells transfected with TIGIT cDNA are specifically stained by 4E1.2. Blocking with 4E1.2 significantly reduces PVR-hFc binding to TIGIT/Baf3 and to ICOShigh CD4+ T cells. TIGIT-PVR interactions are important for regulating T cell function and contribute to T cell-dependent B cell responses.
TIGIT is an attractive target for cancer therapy due to its role as an immune checkpoint1. Immunotherapy targeting TIGIT and the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is capable of tumor suppression. Other combinations, such as TIGIT with TIM-3, CD112R, or TACTILE, have also shown promise in blocking studies.
