RB705 Rat Anti-Mouse CD366 (TIM-3)
RB705 Rat Anti-Mouse CD366 (TIM-3)

Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of CD366 (TIM-3) expression on viable activated Mouse splenic leukocytes.  BALB/c Mouse splenocytes were cultured for 4 days in the presence of plate-bound Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e (Cat. No. 553057/567114; 10 μg/ml for coating), soluble Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD28 (Cat. No. 567110/553294; 2 μg/ml), and Purified NA/LE Rat Anti-Mouse IL-4 (Cat. No. 554432) antibodies. The cells were harvested, washed and preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) [Cat. No. 553141/553142]. The cells were then stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a antibody (Cat. No. 553035) and with either BD Horizon™ RB705 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 570262; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ RB705 Rat Anti-Mouse CD366 (TIM-3) antibody (Cat. No. 570933/571005; Right Plot) at 0.25 µg/test. DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907) was added to cells right before analysis. The bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the 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 (DAPI-negative) splenic lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

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® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  5. Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.
  6. 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.
  7. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  8. Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
  9. Cy is a trademark of Global Life Sciences Solutions Germany GmbH or an affiliate doing business as Cytiva.
  10. For U.S. patents that may apply, see bd.com/patents.
  11. Tandem fluorochromes contain both an energy donor and an energy acceptor. Although every effort is made to minimize the lot-to-lot variation in the efficiency of the fluorochrome energy transfer, differences in the residual emission from the donor may be observed. Additionally, multi-laser cytometers may directly excite both the donor and acceptor fluorochromes. Therefore, we recommend for every tandem conjugate, a matched individual single-stain control be acquired for generating a compensation or spectral unmixing matrix.

25F.1D6

The 25F.1D6 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD366 which is also known as TIM-3 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing 3,  T-cell immunoglobulin mucin receptor 3, or T-cell membrane protein 3). CD366 (TIM-3) is an ~31 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by Havcr2 (Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2) that belongs to the TIM family within the Ig superfamily. CD366 (TIM-3) is comprised of one IgV-type domain followed by a serine/threonine-rich mucin stalk region in its extracellular region, a transmembrane segment, and a tyrosine phosphorylation motif in its cytoplasmic tail. CD366 (TIM-3) expression is upregulated on subpopulations of activated myeloid cells including macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells (DC), microglia, mast cells as well as on Type-1 CD4+ (Th1-like) T cells, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), and natural killer (NK) cells. CD366 (TIM-3) functions as an inhibitory receptor that helps maintain immunological homeostasis and self-tolerance. It may also serve an immune checkpoint molecule that inhibits antitumor immunity and promotes T cell exhaustion. Crosslinking of cell surface CD366 (TIM-3) by Galectin-9 binding downregulates Th1-like and CD8+ T cell responses and can promote Treg or myeloid-derived suppressor cells. CD366 (TIM-3) enables DC to bind phosphatidyl serine expressed by apoptotic cells, phagocytize these cells to suppress inflammation and promote antigen cross-presentation. CD366 (TIM-3) can also bind to high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and inhibit stimulation of the immune response to nucleic acids released by dying tumor cells.

RB705
The BD Horizon RealBlue™ 705 (RB705) Dye is part of the BD® family of blue dyes. It is a tandem fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 498-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 707-nm as measured using an antibody-dye conjugate. Driven by BD® innovation, RB705 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) with minimal excitation by the 561-nm Yellow-Green laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), RB705 can be used as an alternative to PerCP-Cy5.5 or BB700 and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 710-nm (e.g., a 695/40 or 710/50-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PerCP-Cy5.5. RB705 is on average brighter than PerCP-Cy5.5 and BB700, and has minimal spillover into Yellow-Green detectors.
