PD-1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
PD-1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human PD-1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 120 - 170 of PD-1.
PD-1 antibody can be used for detection of PD-1 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL and immunocytochemistry at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

PD-1 Antibody: Cell-mediated immune responses are initiated by T lymphocytes that are themselves stimulated by cognate peptides bound to MHC molecules on antig en-presenting cells (APC). T-cell activation is generally self-limited as activated T cells express receptors such as PD-1 (also known as PDCD-1) that mediate inhibitory signals from the APC. PD-1 can bind two different but related ligands, PDL-1 and PDL-2. Upon binding to either of these ligands, signals generated by PD-1 inhibit the activation of the immune response in the absence of "danger signals" such as LPS or other molecules associated with bacteria or other pathogens. Evidence for this is seen in PD1-null mice who exhibit hyperactivated immune systems and autoimmune diseases.
