Flow cytometric analysis of CD366 (TIM-3) expressed on activated mouse splenocytes. BALB/c splenic leucocytes were cultured for 4 days in the presence of plate-bound Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e (Cat. No. 553057; 10 μg/ml for coating), soluble Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD28 (Cat. No. 553294; 2 μg/ml), and Purified NA/LE Rat Anti-Mouse IL-4 (Cat. No. 554432) antibodies. The cells were harvested, preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142) and stained with FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a antibody (Cat. No. 553030/553031/561966) and with either BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 566928; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse Anti-Mouse CD366 (TIM-3) antibody (Cat. No. 567466; Right Plot) at 0.5 μg per test. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution (Cat. No. 555815/555816) was added to cells right before analysis. A bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of CD366 (TIM-3) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus CD8a was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD CompBead to ensure that BD CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

The 5D12 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD366 which is also known as TIM-3 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing 3) or T-cell membrane protein 3. TIM-3 is encoded by Havcr2 (hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2). TIM-3 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the human TIM family within the immunoglobulin superfamily, having one Ig-like V-type domain in its extracellular region. TIM-3 is expressed on activated monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, microglia, and mast cells. It is also expressed on type-1 CD4+ (Th1-like) T cells, CD8+ T cytotoxic cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), and natural killer (NK) cells. TIM-3 functions as an inhibitory receptor which helps cells maintain immunological homeostasis and self tolerance. Crosslinking of cell surface TIM-3 by Galectin-9 binding downregulates Th1-like and CD8+ T cell responses and can promote Treg or myeloid-derived suppressor cells. TIM-3 enables dendritic cells to bind phosphatidyl serine expressed by apoptotic cells and to phagocytize these cells to quell potential inflammation. TIM-3 also binds to the alarmin HMGB1 thereby preventing Toll-like receptor (TLR) by released tumor cell DNA.
