Product Description

This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric analysis in human cells. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated TIGIT (E5Y1W) XP® Rabbit mAb #99567.

Flow Cytometry, BSA-free Methanol Permeabilization Protocol

A. Solutions and Reagents

NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.

  1. 1X Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS): To prepare 1 L 1X PBS: add 100 ml 10X PBS (#12528) to 900 ml water mix.
  2. 4% Formaldehyde, Methanol-Free (#47746)
  3. 100% Methanol (#13604): Chill before use.

NOTE: When including fluorescent cellular dyes in your experiment (including viability dyes, DNA dyes, etc.), please refer to the dye product page for the recommended protocol.

B. Fixation

NOTE: Adherent cells or tissue should be dissociated and in single-cell suspension prior to fixation.

NOTE: Optimal centrifugation conditions will vary depending upon cell type and reagent volume. Generally, 150-300g for 1-5 minutes will be sufficient to pellet the cells.

NOTE: If using whole blood, lyse red blood cells and wash by centrifugation prior to fixation.

NOTE: Antibodies targeting CD markers or other extracellular proteins may be added prior to fixation if the epitope is disrupted by formaldehyde and/or methanol. The antibodies will remain bound to the target of interest during the fixation and permeabilization process. However, note that some fluorophores (including PE and APC) are damaged by methanol and thus should not be added prior to permeabilization. Conduct a small-scale experiment if you are unsure.

  1. Pellet cells by centrifugation and remove supernatant.
  2. Resuspend cells in approximately 100 µl 4% formaldehyde per 1 million cells. Mix well to dissociate pellet and prevent cross-linking of individual cells.
  3. Fix for 15 min at room temperature (20-25°C).
  4. Wash by centrifugation with excess 1X PBS. Discard supernatant in appropriate waste container. Proceed to Permeabilization step.
    1. Alternatively, cells may be stored overnight at 4°C in 1X PBS.

C. Permeabilization

  1. Permeabilize cells by adding ice-cold 100% methanol slowly to pre-chilled cells, while gently vortexing, to a final concentration of 90% methanol.
    1. If container volume is limiting (for example, in a 96-well plate), generate a 90% methanol solution by mixing with an appropriate volume of 1X PBS. Pellet cells and discard supernatant, and add 100 µl of 90% methanol to cells. Ensure cell pellets are adequately dissociated.
  2. Permeabilize for a minimum of 10 min on ice.
  3. Proceed with immunostaining (Section D) or store cells at -20°C in 90% methanol.

D. Immunostaining

NOTE: Count cells using a hemocytometer or alternative method.

  1. Wash cells by centrifugation in excess 1X PBS to remove methanol. Discard supernatant in appropriate waste container. Repeat if necessary.
  2. Aliquot desired number of cells into tubes or wells. (Generally, 5x105 to 1x106 cells per assay.)
  3. Resuspend cells in 100 µl of diluted primary antibody, prepared in 1X PBS at a recommended dilution or as determined via titration.
  4. Incubate for 1 hr at room temperature. Protect from light.
  5. Wash by centrifugation in 1X PBS. Discard supernatant. Repeat. If using directly conjugated antibodies, skip to step 9.
  6. Resuspend cells in 100 µl of diluted fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibody, prepared in 1X PBS at the recommended dilution or as determined via titration.
  7. Incubate for 30 min at room temperature.
  8. Wash by centrifugation in 1X PBS. Discard supernatant. Repeat.
  9. Resuspend cells in 200-500 µl of 1X PBS and analyze on flow cytometer.

Specificity / Sensitivity

TIGIT (E5Y1W) XP® Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total TIGIT protein.

Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the carboxy terminus of human TIGIT protein. This antibody cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 42 kDa in some cell extracts.

Background

T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), also known as VSIG9, VSTM3, and WUCAM, is a member of the poliovirus receptor family of immunoglobulin proteins (1-3). TIGIT is expressed at low levels on subsets of T cells and NK cells, and is upregulated at the protein level following activation of these cells (1-4). TIGIT marks exhausted T cells in the tumor microenvironment (5) and during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (6). Research has shown TIGIT interacts with several receptors expressed on antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages, as well as tumor cells and cells of the microenvironment. TIGIT binds with high affinity to PVR/CD155, and with low affinity to Nectin-2/CD112 and Nectin-3/CD113 (2,4,7). Upon binding to its ligands, TIGIT suppresses T cell activation, and inhibits T and NK cell cytotoxicity. This inhibition can be blocked using monoclonal antibodies directed at the extracellular domain of TIGIT, resulting in rejuvenated antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses in tumors and during HIV infection (5,6,8). Three potential isoforms of TIGIT have been computationally mapped (9).
