- Extra Details:
- Galectin-9 is a glycan-binding protein, which is expressed in three main isoforms of 49 aa, 27 aa, and 15 aa. It can be detected on the cell surface, as well as intracellularly, or in a secreted form. On the cell surface, galectin-9 plays roles in contacts with other cells and with extracellular matrix. It is expressed on multiple cell types, but mainly on Treg cells, activated Th cells and some cancers. Its secreted form acts like a cytokine with immunomodulatory and immunosuppresive functions. Massive and inadequate production of galectin-9, associated with some viral infections or cancers, can counteract immune reactions to these illnesses. High levels of galectin-9 expression lead to poor prognosis of cancer patients. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul using intracellular staining. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
