Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)
(Staining of 3-day unstimulated (left) and 3-day ConA activated (right) BALB/c splenocytes with 0.25 ug of Hamster IgG Isotype Control (open histogram) or 0.25 ug of Anti-Mouse PD-1 Purified (filled histogram) followed by Anti-Armenian Hamster IgG (biotin) and Streptavidin (PE). Total viable cells were used for analysis.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cell surface membrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is expressed in pro-B-cells and is thought to play a role in their differentiation. In mice, expression of this gene is induced in the thymus when anti-CD3 antibodies are injected and large numbers of thymocytes undergo apoptosis. Mice deficient for this gene bred on a BALB/c background developed dilated cardiomyopathy and died from congestive heart failure. These studies suggest that this gene product may also be important in T cell function and contribute to the prevention of autoimmune diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
