Description

The DTA-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse GITR, Glucocorticoid-Induced TNFR family gene, also known as TNFRSF18. In naïve mice, GITR is expressed predominantly by CD4⁺CD25⁺ T regulatory cells (Treg) and by CD25⁺ CD4⁺ CD8^- thymocytes. Stimulation of GITR abrogates Treg cell-mediated suppression. The removal of GITR-expressing Treg cells or the administration of DTA-1 resulted in organ specific autoimmune disease.

Usage

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The DTA-1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This DTA-1 antibody has been tested flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.06 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
