Rabbit anti-Mouse CD279 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-CD279 antibody

RABBIT ANTI HUMAN CD279 (C-TERMINAL)

Cat. Num. AAA224115

• Gene Names: PDCD1; PD1; PD-1; CD279; SLEB2; hPD-1; hPD-l; hSLE1
• Reactivity: Mouse
• Applications: Immunohistochemistry, Western Blot
• Synonyms: CD279; Polyclonal Antibody; RABBIT ANTI HUMAN CD279 (C-TERMINAL); anti-CD279 antibody

• Host: Rabbit
• Reactivity: Mouse
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Specificity: This item detects CD279, a co-stimulatory molecule also known as programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). CD279 is a single-pass type 1 membrane protein belonging to the CD28 family, and functions mainly as a negative regulator of T-cell activation. CD279 has two specific ligands; CD274 (PD-L1) and CD273 (PD-L2), and their interaction is key in the balance between stimulatory and inhibitory signals needed for effective immune responses to microbes and self-tolerance. CD279 is inducibly expressed by T-cells, B-cells, NK-T-cells and monocytes upon activation. ; ; Loss of CD279 function has been associated with a number of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes and ankylosing spondylitis. Recent studies suggest that CD279 could be targeted therapeutically in the treatment of HIV infection to reduce T-cell exhaustion.

• Perservative Stabilisers: 0.02% Sodium Azide (NaN3)
• Immunogen: A peptide corresponding to a 16 amino acid sequence from near the carboxy terminus of Human CD279.; Histology Positive Control Tissue
• Antiserum Preparation: Antisera to Human CD279 were raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
• Target Species: Human
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C or at -20 degree C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody.

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]
