General notes
Recommended control: Human wild-type THP-1 cell line (ab271147). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
Cryopreservation cell medium: Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture medium: RPMI + 10% FBS + 0.05 mM β-mercaptoethanol
Initial handling guidelines: Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.
1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method. Based on cell count, seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 2-4x105 cells/mL. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Cultures should be monitored daily.
5. THP-1 cells recover slowly from cryopreservation and therefore may not be ready for subculture for a number of days. Cells should be left as much as possible over this time and only subcultured when the cell density reaches 8x105 cells/mL.Subculture guidelines:
- All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
- Cells should be seeded at 2-4x105 cells/mL and subcultured when they have reached 8x105 cells/mL. It is not recommended to allow the cell density to exceed 1x106 cells/mL.
- A partial media change 24 hours prior to subculture may be helpful to encourage growth, if required.
- Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.

Function
Binds galactosides. Has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide. May play a role in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus. Inhibits cell proliferation. It is a ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3. Induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death. Isoform Short acts as an eosinophil chemoattractant. -
Tissue specificity
Peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphatic tissues. Overexpressed in Hodgkin disease tissue. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 2 galectin domains. -
Domain
Contains two homologous but distinct carbohydrate-binding domains. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Secreted. May also be secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway. - Information by UniProt

Observed band size: 35 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?Lanes 1 - 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab227046 observed at 35 kDa. Red - loading control Mouse anti Histone H3 observed at 18 kDa.
ab227046 was shown to react with galectin 9/Gal-9 in wild-type THP-1 cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in LGALS9 knockout cell line ab269505 (knockout cell lysate ab269667). Wild-type THP-1 and LGALS9 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-T (0.1 % Tween®) before incubation with ab227046 and Mouse anti Histone H3 overnight at 4 °C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.
