Anti-PD1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. PDCD1 (Programmed cell death 1), also called PD1, encodes a cell surface receptor that is a member of the B7 superfamily involved in immunomodulation. This gene is mapped to 2q37.3. PDCD1 acts as an inhibitory molecule on T cells after interacting with its ligands PDL1 and PDL2. This protein is expressed in pro-B-cells and is thought to play a role in their differentiation. Using flow cytometric analysis, it has been found that expression of PDCD1 was upregulated on CD16-positive and CD16-negative monocytes, but not on dendritic cells, in viremic HIV-positive patients, but not in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated HIV-positive patients. Upregulation in monocytes was induced by microbial Toll-like receptor ligands and inflammatory cytokines. Protein function: Inhibitory cell surface receptor involved in the regulation of T-cell function during immunity and tolerance. Upon ligand binding, inhibits T-cell effector functions in an antigen- specific manner. Possible cell death inducer, in association with other factors. [The UniProt Consortium]
