Recombinant murinized TIGIT antibody for in vivo use
Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ is a recombinant murinized anti-mouse (m)TIGIT monoclonal antibody (mAb) featuring the variable region of the previously described 10A7 clone [1] and a mouse (m)IgG2a constant region.
InvivoGen’s engineered Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ antibody
TIGIT (T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain) is a cell surface inhibitory immune checkpoint [1]. It is specifically expressed on immune cells including natural killer (NK) cells, activated and memory T cells, as well as regulatory T cells (Tregs) [2].
The 10A7 mAb has been used to block TIGIT signaling in Tregs and chronically stimulated CD8+ T cells [3, 4]. Using recombinant technology, the original 10A7 hamster IgG2a constant region has been replaced with a murine IgG2a format which mediates potent cytotoxic functions [5]. This murinization also allows for reduced immunogenicity of the administered mAb and risks of fatal hypersensitivity reactions [6-8].
Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a is provided in an InvivoFit™ grade, a high-quality standard specifically adapted to in vivo studies.
Key features of Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™:
- Derives from the 10A7 clone, Hamster IgG2a
- Features the mIgG2a isotype (constant region)
- Filter-sterilized (0.2 µm), endotoxin level < 1 EU/mg
- Suitable for parental delivery in mice (azide-free)
- Low aggregation < 5%
- Produced in animal-free facilities and defined media
Anti-mTIGIT-mIgG2a InvivoFit™ is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, purified by affinity chromatography with protein A, and its binding to mTIGIT is validated using flow cytometry.

TIGIT Background:
TIGIT (T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain) is a 27 KDa cell surface immunoreceptor described as an inhibitory immune checkpoint [1]. TIGIT is specifically expressed on immune cells including, Natural Killer (NK) cells, activated and memory T cells, as well as regulatory T cells (Tregs) [2]. TIGIT binds to CD155 (PVR) and CD112 (PVRL2, nectin-2) expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs), T cells, and a variety of non-hematopoietic cells, including tumor cells [1, 2]. Of note, TIGIT competes with CD226 (also known as DNAM-1) and CD96 (also known as Tactile) for the same ligands [1, 2]. TIGIT interaction with its ligand triggers the phosphorylation of its cytoplasmic ITIM motif, and subsequent inhibition of the NF-κB, P13K, and MAPK pathways. As a result, TIGIT inhibits NK and CD8+ T cell effector functions [1-3]. In Tregs, TIGIT ligation triggers the production of immunosuppressive molecules such as IL-10 [4]. TIGIT is a target for monoclonal antibodies in cancer treatments [2].
