At least four isoforms of TIM-4 are known to exist, this antibody will detect all four isoforms.
Purification
TIM-4 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogène
TIM-4 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human TIM-4. The immunogen is located within amino acids 60 - 110 of TIM-4.
TIM-4 antibody can be used for the detection of TIM-4 by Western blot at 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL and Immunohistochemistry starting at 2 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples, Immunohistochemistry in human and mouse samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Sujet
TIM-4 Antibody: The T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein (TIM) family encodes cell surface receptors that are involved in the regulation of T helper (Th) -1 and -2 cell-mediated immunity. TIM-4, which is preferentially expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells, is the natural ligand of TIM-1, and this binding leads to T-cell expansion and cytokine production. Unlike other members of the TIM family, TIM-4 lacks a putative tyrosine phosphorylation signal sequence in its intracellular domain. The TIM-4 gene maps to a locus associated with predisposition to asthma in both mice and humans and with its connection to TIM-1-triggered Th2 responsiveness, may be considered as a candidate disease/predisposition gene for asthma.
