Recombinant Mouse PD-1 (C-6His)

Programmed Death-1 (PD-1), firstly cloned from mouse T cell hybridoma 2B4.11, is one member of CD28/CTLA-4 superfamily. PD-1 belongs to type I transmembrane protein and acts as an important immunosuppressive molecule. The cytoplamsic tail of PD-1 contains two structural motifs, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) formed by two tyrosine residues which make the difference in PD-1 signal mediating. Mouse PD-1 is expressed in thymus and shares about 69% aa sequence identity with human PD-1. Recently, programmed death-1 (PD-1) with its ligands, programmed death ligand B7H1 (PD-L1) and B7DC (PD-L2), was found to regulate T-cell activation and tolerance, upon ligand binding, inhibiting T-cell effector functions in an antigen-specific manner. PD-1 gene knocked out mice would induce some autoimmune diseases, which suggests that PD-1 acts as a co-inhibitory molecule actively participating in maintaining peripheral tolerance. Thus, PD-1 may be a useful target for the immunologic therapy of carcinoma, infection, autoimmune diseases as well as organ transplantation.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Store at -70°C/-20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.Store at ≤-70°C, stable for 3 months under sterile conditions after opening. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Recombinant Mouse Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu25-Gln167 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
