Anti-PD-1 (RMP1-14)

Product Specifications

Background

CD279, also known as programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a 50-55 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member. PD-1 is expressed on a subset of CD4-CD8- thymocytes, and on activated T and B cells. The PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 (also known as B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC), are members of the B7 immunoglobulin superfamily. This RMP1-14 antibody has been reported to block the binding of PD-1 to its ligands (B7-H1 and B7-DC) and to inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine production.

Applications Notes

Blocking: Clone RMP1-14 antibody has been shown to block the binding of both mouse PD-L1-Ig and mouse PD-L2-Ig to PD-1. For immune checkpoint antibodies 200 ug per mouse per injection is the standard dosage in the literature. For this anti-PD-1 (clone RMP1-14), we suggest to inject 200 ug/mouse ip generally on days 3, 6 and 9, post injection of tumor. Sometime up to six injections depending on the length of the experiment may be required. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
