TIM-1 was first identified as the receptor used by hepatitis A for viral entry (it is also known as the hepatitis A virus cellular receptor- HAVCR). TIM-1 is a key cell surface protein that binds TIM-4, leading to T cell proliferation and T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine production. TIM-1 has also been shown to bind and activate macrophages. Two splice variants for human TIM-1 exist, TIM-1a is predominantly expressed in the liver, whilst TIM-1b is expressed in the kidney. Expression of TIM-1 in the kidney is thought to be upregulated in damaged tissue, and is thought to assist healing. TIM-1 polymorphisms are associated with asthma. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: detects a band of ~49kD in human uterus tissue lysate. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
