Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity LAG-3 antibody (clone C9B7W) recognizes and specifically binds to an epitope in the D2 domain of CD223. Background LAG-3 is a 70-kD, type-I transmembrane glycoprotein within the Ig superfamily with four extracellular Ig-like domains (D1 to D4) and is structurally homologous to CD4. LAG-3 is a cell surface molecule with various biologic effects on T cell function. It has been reported to be involved in Treg suppressive function. It negatively regulates cellular proliferation, activation, and homeostasis of T cells, in a similar manner to CTLA-4 and PD-1. Human LAG-3 is approximately 70% homologous with murine LAG3, and it binds MHC class II molecules with higher affinity than CD4. As an immune checkpoint receptor, LAG-3 is the target of various drug development programs seeking to expand treatments for cancer and autoimmune disorders. In its soluble form, LAG-3 is being developed as a cancer drug. As an antagonist, LAG-3 antibody can activate T effector cells via the downregulation of the LAG-3 inhibiting signal into pre-activated LAG-3+ cells. In addition, it can inhibit antigen-specific Treg suppressive activity. As an agonist antibody, it can be used to diminish an autoimmune response and is currently being investigated for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Antigen Distribution CD223 (LAG-3) is expressed on T regulatory cells, activated T cells and NK cells. NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org Research Area Immunology .

In Vivo Applications of Clone C9B7W in MiceClone C9B7W is a widely used monoclonal antibody that targets mouse LAG-3 (CD223), an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor expressed on activated T lymphocytes (including both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells), natural killer (NK) cells, and regulatory T (Treg) cells. While C9B7W recognizes an epitope in the D2 domain of LAG-3 and does not block binding of LAG-3 to MHC class II, it is a functional antagonist with several established in vivo applications in murine models.

Summary Table: Key In Vivo Uses of C9B7W in Mice
ConclusionClone C9B7W is a cornerstone tool in murine immunology, especially for in vivo studies aiming to block LAG-3-mediated immune suppression in cancer immunotherapy, to interrogate Treg function, and to explore LAG-3’s role in immune regulation. Its unique mechanism—functional blockade without preventing MHC class II binding—makes it particularly valuable for mechanistic studies and combination therapies. The antibody C9B7W is most commonly used to detect or functionally block mouse LAG-3 (CD223) in immunology research, particularly in the study of immune regulation and checkpoint blockade. In the literature, it is routinely paired with other antibodies or proteins to characterize immune cell populations or analyze functional pathways. Other commonly used antibodies or proteins with C9B7W include:
Summary Table
These combinations facilitate in-depth investigation into T cell activation, regulatory function, immune checkpoint interactions, and cell phenotyping. Selection depends on the experimental design, such as immunophenotyping (flow cytometry), functional blockade (in vitro/in vivo), or protein quantification (ELISA). If you are seeking a specific panel for flow cytometry or in vivo blockade studies, anti-CD3, anti-CD28, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-PD-1, and MHC-II tetramers represent the most widely reported partners for C9B7W in the literature. Key findings from citations referencing clone C9B7W in scientific literature include:
Overall, C9B7W is a valuable tool for studying LAG-3 function and its role in immune regulation, particularly in the context of T cell activation and inhibition. Dosing regimens for clone C9B7W (anti-mouse LAG-3/CD223) vary significantly depending on the specific mouse model, the experimental context, and the therapeutic goals of the study. While the antibody is widely used for both in vitro functional assays and in vivo blockade of LAG-3, there is no single universal regimen; researchers tailor the dose, frequency, and route based on their model and endpoint.
