You will receive 1 vial of lysate (100ug), 1 vial of empty vector negative control (100ug), and 1 vial of 2xSDS sample buffer (250ul). Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein (at 1 mg/ml). The 2xSDS Sample Buffer consists of 4% SDS, 125mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.002% Bromophenol blue, 100mM DTT.

Application Notes
Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading.
TMW
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: TIM-3
Dysregulation of TIM-3 expression is associated with autoimmune diseases as shown by studies where inhibition of TIM-3 using blocking antibodies worsened disease progression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) models of multiple sclerosis (MS) (2,3,5). Conversely, high levels of TIM-3 have been shown during viral infection as well as in many cancer types where its increased expression may be an indicator of poor prognosis (2,3,5). TIM-3 has emerged as a potential cancer immunotherapy target as preclinical studies blocking TIM-3 results in increased anti-tumor immunity and prevents tumor growth (3,5). Studies have suggested combination therapy of TIM-3 blockade with blockade of other checkpoint inhibitors such as programmed death 1 (PD-1) or lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) is more effective than TIM-3 blockade alone (3,5).

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.
