Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-TIM 3 antibody [EPR22241] (AB241332)
This data was developed using ab242080, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human tonsil labelling PD1 with ab243644 at 1/500 dilution (1.02 µg/mL) (D), CD8 with ab178089 at 1/100 dilution (0.83 μg/ml) (C) and TIM 3 with ab242080 at 1/500 dilution (2.09 μg/ml) (B). Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody, and DAPI was used for a nuclear counter stain. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins. Panel A : merged staining of anti-TIM 3 (green; Opal™690), anti-CD8 (red; Opal™520) and anti-PD1 (gray; Opal™570) on human tonsil. Panel B : anti-TIM 3 stained on membrane of a subset of immune cells. Panel C : anti-CD8 stained on membrane of a subset of T cells. Panel D : anti-PD1 stained on membrane of a subset of lymphocytes. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab242080, ab243644 and ab178089 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

Biological function summary
TIM-3 functions as a checkpoint inhibitor impacting immune cell activity. It is not part of a larger physical complex but it modulates immune responses by interacting with its ligands such as Galectin-9 phosphatidylserine and CEACAM1. TIM-3 involvement in downregulating Th1 cell responses shows its necessary role in maintaining immune homeostasis. The protein also acts in regulating tolerance mechanisms and preventing autoimmunity.
Pathways
TIM-3 participation is seen in the immune checkpoint and T cell exhaustion pathways. TIM-3 signaling results in T cell inhibition affecting the PD-1 pathway as well. It shares a relationship with proteins like LAG-3 and PD-1 which are key to immune inhibitory signaling. These interactions depict TIM-3's role in immune tolerance during chronic infections and malignancies.
