Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Tox2 (E3N3G) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Tox2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with Tox, Tox3, or Tox4 proteins.

Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu343 of human Tox2 protein.

Background

Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein (Tox) is a DNA-binding nuclear factor and member of the evolutionarily conserved high-motility group (HMG)-box superfamily. Tox also defines a small subfamily of proteins that include Tox2, Tox3, and Tox4, all of which are highly conserved in vertebrate species but have unique tissue expression patterns and functions (1,2).

Tox2 is expressed by natural killer (NK) cells, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, and exhausted CD8+ T cells (3,4). Tox2 and BCL6 play a critical role in Tfh cell development by generating a transcriptional feed-forward loop that drives the Tfh program (5). Tox2 induction plays a role in driving CD8+ T cell exhaustion and is being investigated as a therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy (6).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
