SMC^® Human PD-1 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), CD279, is a type I membrane protein found in T cells, B cells, and macrophages that binds Programmed cell death ligand 1 and 2 (PD-L1 and PD-L2). PD-1 is found in both soluble and insoluble forms. PD-1 regulates the body’s immune response through a variety of pathways, down-regulating immune system activity and suppressing T-cell inflammatory activity. PD-1 has been implicated as playing a role in cancers, autoimmune diseases, the immune response to viruses, and in immunological pathways related to brain repair. As an immune checkpoint, PD-1 promotes apoptosis of antigen-specific T-cells in lymph nodes and reduces apoptosis in regulatory T-cells. Blockers of the PD-1 pathway have been approved as cancer therapeutics.
