Western blot shows lysates of NS0 mouse myeloma cell line either mock transfected or transfected with human PD-1. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Cynomolgus Monkey PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8578) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for PD-1 at approximately 75 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of PD-1 in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Cynomolgus Monkey PD-1 and eGFP by Flow Cytometry.

HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) cynomolgus monkey PD-1 or (B) irrelevant protein, and eGFP was stained with Mouse Anti-Human/Cynomolgus Monkey PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8578) followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). Quadrant markers were set based on Mouse IgG2BIsotype Control (Catalog # MAB0041, data not shown). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.

Background: PD-1

Programmed Death-1 receptor (PD-1), also known as CD279, is type I transmembrane protein belonging to the CD28 family of immune regulatory receptors (1). Other members of this family include CD28, CTLA-4, ICOS, and BTLA (2-5). Mature Cynomolgus monkey PD-1 consists of a 148 amino acid (aa) extracellular region (ECD) with one immunoglobulin-like V-type domain, a 24 aa transmembrane domain, and a 95 aa cytoplasmic region. The Cynomolgus monkey PD-1 ECD shares 95% aa sequence identity with the human PD-1 ECD. The cytoplasmic tail contains two tyrosine residues that form the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) that are important for mediating PD-1 signaling. PD-1 acts as a monomeric receptor and interacts in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 (6, 7). PD‑1 is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells while PD-L1 expression is constitutive on the same cells and also on nonhematopoietic cells such as lung endothelial cells and hepatocytes (8, 9). Ligation of PD-L1 with PD-1 induces co-inhibitory signals on T cells promoting their apoptosis, anergy, and functional exhaustion (10). Thus, the PD-1:PD-L1 interaction is a key regulator of the threshold of immune response and peripheral immune tolerance (11). Finally, blockade of the PD-1: PD-L1 interaction by either antibodies or genetic manipulation accelerates tumor eradication and shows potential for improving cancer immunotherapy (12, 13).
