The Themis Antibody (PAC057384) is a highly specific and sensitive tool for studying the Themis protein, an important regulator of T cell development and function. This polyclonal antibody is produced in rabbits and is optimized for detecting Themis in human samples, making it an ideal choice for immunology and cancer research studies.Themis is a key signaling molecule that plays a critical role in T cell receptor signaling and immune system function. Dysregulation of Themis has been implicated in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancer.
By using the Themis Antibody, researchers can better understand the mechanisms by which Themis influences immune responses, potentially leading to the development of targeted therapies for these conditions.Validated for use in Western blot applications, the Themis Antibody allows for precise detection and analysis of Themis expression in various cell types. With its high reactivity and specificity, this antibody is a valuable tool for researchers looking to delve deeper into the immune system and its impact on human health.
Western Blot. Positive WB detected in: Jurkat whole cell lysate, K562 whole cell lysate. All lanes: THEMIS antibody at 7.6µg/ml. Secondary. Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution. Predicted band size: 74, 70, 63, 78 kDa. Observed band size: 74, 70 kDa.
IHC image of PACO57384 diluted at 1:300 and staining in paraffin-embedded human spleen tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Immunofluorescence staining of HepG2 cells with PACO57384 at 1:100, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
Background:
Plays a central role in late thymocyte development by controlling both positive and negative T-cell selection. Required to sustain and/or integrate signals required for proper lineage commitment and maturation of T-cells. Regulates T-cell development through T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling and in particular through the regulation of calcium influx and phosphorylation of Erk.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a protein that plays a regulatory role in both positive and negative T-cell selection during late thymocyte development. The protein functions through T-cell antigen receptor signaling, and is necessary for proper lineage commitment and maturation of T-cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
