Anti-Human CD279 (PD-1) SAFIRE Purified - 25ug

The J116 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with human Programmed death-1 (PD-1 or CD279), a 50-55 kDA glycoprotein. It is expressed on mainly on activated B, T, and myeloid cells. Within the cytoplasmic region, PD-1 contains an Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and seems to regulate peripheral tolerance. The lack or mutation of CD279 is linked to autoimmune disorders.The J116 antibody does not block the binding of the PD-1 ligand, but does inhibit the PD-1 signal transduction.
