• Application notes: This antibody has been used in various FACS analyses, for instance, to evaluate the expression of TIM family members on mouse mast cells (Nakae et al, 2007) and to block the H-ferritin binding to TIM-2/L5178Y cells (Kawamoto et al, 2011). This antibody has been used in FACS and immunohistochemistry analyses to show that TIM-2 is expressed on mouse fetal hepatocytes (Watanabe et al, 2007). This antibody has also been used in Western Blots and for blocking experiments in ferritin binding analysis, which suggests that Tim-2 is the H-ferritin receptor on oligodendrocytes (Todorich et al, 2008). In addition, this antibody has been used in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) models to determine whether TIM-2 contributes to the development of T helper (Th) 1 or Th17 cells and joint inflammation (Kawamoto et al, 2011).
