ANTI-PDCD1 (C15-1454-128)

General description

The gene PDCD1 (programmed cell death protein 1) is mapped to human chromosome 2q37. The encoded protein belongs to the CD28 superfamily. It interacts with its ligands PD-L1/PD-L2 (programmed death-ligands).

Immunogen

programmed cell death 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-PDCD1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PDCD1 (programmed cell death protein 1) plays an important role in the immune regulation by working as a negative co-stimulatory factor. It suppresses working and multiplication of the T cells, thereby reducing the release of IL-2 (interleukin-2), IL-10 and IFN-γ (interferon γ). In the presence of tumor microenvironment, PDCD1 along with its ligand modulates T effector functioning, thereby protecting cancer cells from immune-associated rejection. Mutation in this gene is associated with symptoms and progression of multiple sclerosis. Mutation in it are also linked with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage
