Function

Inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells that plays a critical role in induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self (PubMed:21276005). Delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands CD274/PDCD1L1 and CD273/PDCD1LG2 (PubMed:21276005). Following T-cell receptor (TCR) engagement, PDCD1 associates with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation (By similarity). Suppresses T-cell activation through the recruitment of PTPN11/SHP-2: following ligand-binding, PDCD1 is phosphorylated within the ITSM motif, leading to the recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11/SHP-2 that mediates dephosphorylation of key TCR proximal signaling molecules, such as ZAP70, PRKCQ/PKCtheta and CD247/CD3zeta (By similarity).The PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway is exploited by tumors to attenuate anti-tumor immunity and escape destruction by the immune system, thereby facilitating tumor survival (PubMed:28951311). The interaction with CD274/PDCD1L1 inhibits cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) effector function (PubMed:28951311). The blockage of the PDCD1-mediated pathway results in the reversal of the exhausted T-cell phenotype and the normalization of the anti-tumor response, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy (PubMed:22658127, PubMed:25034862, PubMed:25399552).

Notes

ab251613 is the carrier-free version of Anti-PD1 antibody [CAL20] ab237728.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

PD1 also known as Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 or PDCD1 is a transmembrane protein that plays a critical role in regulating immune responses. It has a mass of approximately 55 kDa. PD1 is expressed on the surface of T cells B cells and some myeloid cells. PD1’s expression increases upon activation of these immune cells assisting in maintaining peripheral tolerance. Researchers often use PD1 mouse models and chimeric antibodies to explore the function of PD1 for experimental purposes. Antibodies such as anti-PD1 such as EH12.2H7 help in blocking PD1 interaction to study its role further.

Biological function summary

PD1 serves as an inhibitory receptor acting as a checkpoint in the immune system. It becomes part of an immune-suppressive complex when it binds with its ligands PD-L1 or PD-L2 which are expressed on various cell types including some tumor cells. This interaction suppresses the proliferation of T cells and cytokine production contributing to immune homeostasis. By controlling T cell activity PD1 limits autoimmunity but can also reduce the immune system's capability to attack cancer cells.

Pathways

PD1 functions in the immune checkpoint pathway a critical regulatory circuit in immune regulation. The engagement of PD1 with its ligands initiates a cascade that inhibits the function and proliferation of T cells through downstream SHP-2 phosphatase activity. This pathway frequently involves other regulatory proteins like CTLA-4 and is an important mechanism by which the body modulates immune responses. Related pathways often intersect with those involving T cell receptor signaling and contribute to the overall modulation of immune activity.

Associated diseases and disorders

PD1 has a significant role in cancer and autoimmune disorders. PD1 expression can allow tumors to evade immune surveillance making PD1 a target for cancer therapies such as anti-PD1 antibodies which aim to block PD1 and restore T cell activity. The interaction of PD1 with cancer-related proteins like PD-L1 facilitates tumor immune evasion. In autoimmune disorders PD1’s regulation of immune balance can become dysregulated leading to persistent immune activation and tissue damage. Understanding PD1 and its interaction with proteins such as PD-L1 helps in developing therapeutic strategies for both cancer and autoimmune conditions.
