GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor) also known as TNFRSF18, is a surface receptor molecule that has been shown to be involved in inhibiting the suppressive activity of T-regulatory cells and extending the survival of T-effector cells.1 GITR is involved in the regulation of T-cell receptor mediated cell death. Constitutive expression of a transfected GITR gene induces resistance to apoptosis induced by anti CD3 monoclonal antibodies. GITR ligand interferes with the suppressor activity of CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T-cells.2

- Storage: The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
