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