PD-1, a member of the CD28/CTLA-4 subfamily of the Ig superfamily, is a transmembrane protein expressed on activated T cells, B cells, a subset of thymocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and some tumor cells1, 2. PD-1 is also retained in the intracellular compartments of human and mouse regulatory T cells (Tregs) and is co-expressed with CD25 on activated CD4+ T cells3. When stimulated via the T cell receptor (TCR), Tregs translocate PD-1 to the cell surface3. PD-1 is absent on naïve T cells and is inducibly expressed on T cells by T cell antigen receptor (TCR). B7-H1 (PD-L1; CD274) and B7-DC (PD-L2; CD273) have been identified as PD-1 ligands1. PD-1 is co-expressed with PD-L1 on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs)2.
PD-1 acts as a T cell inhibitory receptor and plays a critical role in peripheral tolerance induction and autoimmune disease prevention as well as important roles in the survival of dendritic cells, macrophage phagocytosis, and tumor cell glycolysis2. PD-1 prevents uncontrolled T cell activity, leading to attenuation of T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic activities. Additionally, the PD-1 pathway, consisting of PD-1 on T cells and PD-L1 on APCs, is a major mechanism of tumor immune evasion, and, as such, PD-1 is a target of cancer immunotherapy2.
RMP1-30 does not block the binding of B7-H1 or B7-DC to PD-11. However, recent studies show that RMP1-30 does deplete PD-1 expressing cells 28.

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
