General description

TREM-2, also known as Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 or Triggering receptor expressed on monocytes 2, and encoded by the gene Trem2/Trem2a/Trem2b/Trem2c, is a protein that forms a receptor signaling complex with TYROBP and triggers activation of the immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells. TREM-2 may also have a role in chronic inflammations and may stimulate production of constitutive rather than inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. TREM-2 is localized to the cell membrane and is a single pass membrane protein. TREM-2 is expressed in immune cells such as microglia and monocytes but the expression varies depending upon the exact tissue and location within the tissue. Defects in TREM-2 may be associated in humans with frontotemporal dementia, Nasu-Hakola disease, and recently an increase risk of Alzheimer′s disease.

Specificity

This antibody does not cross react with mouse TREM-1 or TREM-3 (Prof. William Seaman, University of California, San Francisco.).

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse TREM-2.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected TREM-2 in TRACP+ osteoclasts (Humprey, M. B., et al. (2006). J Bone Miner Res. 21(2):237-245.).

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected TREM-2 in RAW264.7 cells (Humprey, M. B., et al. (2006). J Bone Miner Res. 21(2):237-245.).

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory immunoprecipitated TREM-2 from mouse macrophage lysates (Peng, Q., et al. (2010). Sci Signal. 3(122):ra38.).

Inhibition Analysis: : Pre-treatment of BV2 cells or C57BL/6 Osteoclasts with a representative lot of this antibody significantly reduces cellular activation in response to both untreated and apoptotic Neuro2A cells (Hsieh, C. L., et al. (2009). J Neurochem. (109):4:1144-1156.; Humprey, M. B., et al. (2006). J Bone Miner Res. 21(2):237-245.).

Physical form

Format: Purified
Protein G Purified
Purified rat monoclonal IgG1κ in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl without preservatives.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Microglia plays crucial roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) development. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in association with DAP12 mediates signaling affecting microglia function. Here we study the negative regulation of TREM2 functions by leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily

Mutations in triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) have been linked to increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Neurobiological functions of TREM2 and its pathophysiological ligands remain elusive. Here we found that TREM2 directly binds to β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers
