Activity summary

GITR also known as TNFRSF18 is a 241 amino acid protein with a mass of approximately 27 kDa. It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. GITR is highly expressed on activated T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs). The gene encoding GITR is located on chromosome 1 in humans. High surface expression is also observed in immune tissues such as the thymus spleen and lymph nodes playing an important role in immune responses.

Biological function summary

GITR acts as a costimulatory molecule that enhances T cell activation and proliferation. It does not function as part of a complex but interacts directly with ligand GITRL triggering downstream signaling cascades. This interaction is key in the modulation of immune responses notably in enhancing the activity of effector T cells and regulating Treg functions. Activation of GITR can reduce Treg-mediated suppression leading to enhanced immune responses.

Pathways

The mechanistic role of GITR involves NF-kB and MAPK signaling pathways. Through these GITR impacts immune responses by stimulating the production of cytokines and promoting cell survival and proliferation. GITR signaling intersects with pathways involving proteins such as NF-kB further integrating with the immune system's regulation crescendo.

Associated diseases and disorders

GITR appears to play a role in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and potential cancer immunotherapy. In autoimmune diseases GITR modulates immune activity influencing the balance between inhibition and activation of T cells. In oncology GITR targeting aims to enhance immune responses against tumors. Through these conditions GITR shows connections to proteins such as CTLA-4 which also contributes to immune regulatory processes.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GITR antibody [CAL8] (ab237714)

    Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue labeling GITR with ab237714 at 1/500 dilution, followed by a ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP). Positive staining on the human tonsil tissue is observed. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

    Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is a ready to use Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP).

    Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Buffer (100X Tris-EDTA Buffer, pH 9.0) ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0).

    Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-GITR antibody [CAL8] (ab237714)

    Intracellular flow cytometric analysis of 2% paraformaldehyde-fixed,0.1% Tween-20permeabilized human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) treated with 10μg/ml PHA for 48hrs, labeling GITR with ab237714 at 1/500 (right) compared with a rabbit IgG (left). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) ab150077), at 1/5000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were surface stained with anti-CD25 conjugated to BV421. Then fixed with 2% PFA followed by intracellular staining rabbit IgG (Left) or ab237714 (Right).

    Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-GITR antibody [CAL8] (ab237714)

    Flow cytometry staining of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (top) or PBMCs treated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies (72 hours) (bottom), with ab237714 (right) or Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (left). Cells were fixed and permeabilised with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ for 20 min. PBMCs were incubated for 30 min at 4°C in 1x PBS containing 10 µg/ml human IgG and 10 % normal goat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody ab237714 or Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (1x 106 in 100 µl at 0.2 μg/ml (1/10200)) for 30 min at 4°C . The cells were simultaneously stained with CD8.

    The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min at 4°C

    Acquisition of >30000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter. Events were gated on viable cells.
