This antibody has been used in flow cytometric analysis of splenocytes (Workman et al, 2005), T cell hybridomas expressing wild-type or chimeric CD4:murine LAG-3 (Workman et al, 2002) and CD4+ regulatory T cells (Chien et al, 2017). It has also been used in immunoprecipitation analysis of murine T hybridoma 3A9 cells transduced with murine LAG-3 (Li et al, 2004). This antibody blocks LAG-3 function in vitro, inhibiting antigen-induced IL-2 production in LAG-3-expressing T cell hybridomas, but does not block LAG-3:MHC class II interaction (Workman et al, 2002). Treatment with this antibody also blocks LAG-3 function in vivo, leading to accelerated homeostatic expansion of WT T cells (Workman et al, 2005). Administration of this LAG-3-blocking antibody, in combination with PD-L1 blockade, synergistically improves the survival of lymphodepleted myeloma-bearing mice (Jing et al, 2015).
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.
