GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor, also named AITR, activation-inducible TNF R family member), is a 228 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF R family and has been designated TNFRSF18. The GITR cytoplasmic domain has striking homology with the cytoplasmic domain of 4-1BB and CD27. Human GITR shares 55% homology with murine GITR. GITR is expressed at low levels in peripheral blood T cells, bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. In contrast to mouse GITR, expression of human GITR is not induced by treatment with dexamethasone, but is
up-regulated by antigen stimulation or by treatment with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28, or PMA plus ionomycin. Human GITR ligand was identified from human umbilical vein endothelial cells and is a 177 aa polypeptide belonging to the TNF superfamily (TNFSF18). Ligation of GITR can activate NF-kappa B through TRAF2, and protect T cells from TCR activation-induced cell death. It has been proposed that GITR ligand and GITR may modulate T lymphocyte functions.

Detection of GITR/TNFRSF18 in RPMI8226 (positive cells) vs. Jurkat (negative cells) by Flow Cytometry
RPMI8226 cells (filled histogram) vs. Jurkat cells (open histogram) were stained with Mouse Anti-Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB689) followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B).

Recombinant Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 689-GR) was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB689) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF689) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Applications for Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Antibody (110416)
