Target: PD-1.
Clone: RMP1-14.
Specificity: Mouse anti-PD-1 antibody (RMP1-14) is a recombinant antibody where the original Rat IgG2a backbone of clone RMP1-14 has been changed to Mouse IgG1. This antibody recognizes an epitope on Mouse PD-1.
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Antigen Distribution: Subset of double negative thymocytes, activated T and B cells.
Background: CD279, also known as programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a 50-55 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member. PD-1 is expressed on a subset of CD4-CD8- thymocytes, and on activated T and B cells. The PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 (also known as B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC), are members of the B7 immunoglobulin superfamily. This RMP1-14 antibody has been reported to block the binding of PD-1 to its ligands (B7-H1 and B7-DC) and to inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
Immunogen: Mouse PD-1 transfected BHK cells.
