Background: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3, CD223) is an immune checkpoint protein that negatively regulates T cells and immune responses. LAG3 is primarily expressed by activated CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Tregs, and NK cells, where it is activated by MHC Class II molecules, its only known ligand. LAG3 is often co-expressed with PD-1 on the surface of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, where the two proteins act independently to contribute to tumor-mediated immune suppression. Blockade of LAG3 is a promising strategy for neoplastic intervention.
Validation: Each lot of conjugated antibody is quality control tested by staining tissue following the MIBI Staining Protocol optimized for the applicable tissue format with subsequent MIBIscope analysis of stained tissue microarray using the appropriate positive and negative tissue field of views.
Recommended Usage: Human FFPE: 1 ug/mL dilution. For optimal results, the antibody should be titrated for each desired application.
