PD-1 [CD279]/PD-L1 [CD274] Pathway


PD-1-PD-L1 PathwayPD-1 (Programmed cell death protein 1; CD279) is a type I transmembrane protein belonging to the CD28/CTLA-4 family of immune receptors. PD-L1 (CD274; B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC; CD273) are immuno-coinhibitory ligands of the B7 family binding to PD-1. The PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-L2 signaling pathway is a negative regulatory mechanism that inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction enhances antitumor immunity. The PD-1 pathway plays a major role in the inhibition of self-reactive T cells and protection against autoimmune diseases. PD-1 and PD-L1 also exist as soluble forms. Elevated levels of soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) are shown in rheumatoid arthritis, skin sclerosis and autoimmune hepatitis. Levels of sPD-L1 are increased in the plasma of cancer patients as well as in cerebrospinal fluid of gliomas. sPD-L1 is a biomarker of poor survival in patients with B cell lymphoma, renal cell carcinoma, metastatic melanoma or lung cancer and is associated with advanced tumor stages.

PD-L1 (mouse):Fc (mouse) (rec.)  - Biologically Active Proteins

PD-L1 (mouse):Fc (mouse) (rec.) (Prod. No. CHI-MF-110PDL1) is a biologically active recombinant fusion protein that inhibits anti-CD3/CD28 antibody-induced proliferation of mouse T lymphocytes.

Biological Activity: T cells from C57BL/6 mice were activated with coated anti-CD3/CD28 and PD-L1-Fc or control antibody (10µg/ml). Plots illustrate the percentage of dividing cells by using anti-CD44 and the dye Cell Trace Violet (CTV).

UNIQUE  anti-PD-1 (mouse), mAb (blocking) (1H10) 

AdipoGen Life Sciences' anti-PD-1 (mouse), mAb (blocking) (1H10) (Prod. No. AG-20B-0075) is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes mouse PD-1 and works specifically in Flow Cytometry and Functional Application. The antibody blocks PD-1 binding and induces a rapid activation and proliferation of T cells at concentration of 0.25µg/2x105 cells. The antibody is available with or without preservatives.

Method: 
Magnetic bead affinity purified CD4+ T cells from C57BL/6 mice are stimulated in vitro with PD-1 (mouse), mAb (blocking) (1H10), anti-CD28 and rat IgG2a isotype (control Ig) (0.25µg/2x105 cells) for 48h. Proliferation is determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation. The presence of anti-CD28 mAb increases 1H10 mAb-mediated proliferation.
