Clone REA635 recognizes the human CD366 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein, which is also known as T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein-3 (TIM-3) or Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVcr-2). CD366 is expressed on activated T cells, especially Tʜ1 cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is an activation-induced inhibitory molecule involved in tolerance and shown to induce T cell exhaustion in chronic viral infection and cancers. CD366 has been proposed to inhibit Tʜ1-mediated immune responses and regulates Tʜ1 and Tʜ17 cytokine secretion. The interaction of CD366 and its ligand galectin-9 induces apoptosis of Tʜ1 cells.
Additional information: Clone REA635 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
Alternative names
