25x Biotin-detection Ab (human sPD-1 Biotin-dAb). PN: B113385B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-human sPD-1.

Lyophilized Standard Mix-Human Group 7, Panel B, 7-Plex. PN: HG72006. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant NAP-2, PARC, sPD-1, PF4, SDF-1, TARC, and TECK.  Note: If multiple analyte kits on the above target list are ordered as a panel, only one vial of standard mix is supplied for those analyte kits.

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human PD-1/sCD279 . Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Human Group 7.  To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (PN: P100001) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.

Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Programmed cell death protein 1, also known as PD-1 and CD279, is a cell surface receptor that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed on T cells and pro-B cells. PD-1 binds two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. PD-1, functioning as an immune checkpoint, plays an important role in down regulating the immune system by preventing the activation of T-cells, which in turn reduces autoimmunity and promotes self-tolerance. The inhibitory effect of PD-1 is accomplished through a dual mechanism of promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death) in antigen specific T-cells in lymph nodes while simultaneously reducing apoptosis in regulatory T cells (suppressor T cells). PD-1 inhibitors, a new class of drugs that block PD-1, activate the immune system to attack tumors and are therefore used with varying success to treat some types of cancer. Diseases associated with PDCD1 include systemic lupus erythematosus 2 and multiple sclerosis.
