Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of the specificities of TIM-3 antibodies. (A) The purified TIM-3-specific mouse IgG antibodies (Abs) were subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis under non-denaturing (left panel) and denaturing (right panel) conditions. The separate images were cropped from the same gel. The entire image of the gel is shown in The recognition characteristics of TIM-3 Abs for native and denatured TIM-3 protein in western blot analysis. The combined images were cropped from different images. The entire image of western blots is shown in The specificity of the anti-TIM-3 mAbs was assess by ELISAs. The columns represent mean ± standard deviation (SD) of triplicates. Statistical significance was indicated as ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, and *p < 0.05 compared with Blank. Consistent results were observed in three independent experiments. (D, E) Reactivities of anti-TIM-3 mAbs towards endogenous cell surface TIM-3 protein on the RPMI8226 multiple myeloma cell line were assessed using flow cytometry. The RPMI8226 cells without addition of TIM-3 mAb were used as control (Con). Representative dot plots (D) and histograms (E) depicting the TIM-3 expression by flow cytometry were generated. M: molecular weight marker; 1 = MsT001; 2 = MsT065; 3 = MsT229; 4 = MsT286; 5 = non-denatured TIM-3 protein; 6 = denatured TIM-3 protein; hTIM-3 = human TIM-3; cynTIM-3 = cynomolgus TIM-3; mTIM-3 = mouse TIM-3; hCD137 = human CD137; hPD-L1 = human PD-L1; hOX40 = human OX40.
