Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

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 was conjugated to BD Horizon APC-R700, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to Alexa Fluor® 700. APC-R700 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to Alexa Fluor® 700 yet exhibits significantly improved brightness. This dye can be excited by the red laser and detected with the same filter set as Alexa Fluor® (eg, 730/45-nm filter).
