Storage Note

All VivopureX products are formulated in PBS only without addition of preservatives. To ensure optimal storage and prevent microbial contamination, only open and dispense under sterile conditions. Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.

Application Notes

The original version of this antibody (rat IgG1) specifically bound murine Tim-4 protein, as shown in ELISA and FC assays (Rodriguez-Manzanet et al., 2008; PMID: 18354194). This antibody can block apoptotic body (AB) recognition by CD11b+ peritoneal macrophages and partially inhibit AB uptake by peritoneal B-1 cells (Rodriguez-Manzanet et al., 2010; PMID: 20368430).

Short Description

This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
