    Product Information

    Product Description

    PD-1 (Pembrolizumab Biosimilar) Human mAb is a biosimilar antibody for Pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1 that is dessigned to function as a immune checkpoint inhibitor by disrupting the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1.
    Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg of protein

    Product Usage Information

    This product is intended for research use only (RUO). Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PD-1 (Pembrolizumab Biosimilar) Human mAb was confirmed to bind to its intended target protein PD-1 using flow cytometry.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    PD-1 (Pembrolizumab Biosimilar) Human mAb is produced at Cell Signaling Technology. Pembrolizumab is an antibody that is directed against the extracellular region of human PD-1.

    Background

    The programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1, PDCD1, CD279) is a member of the CD28 family of immunoreceptors that regulate T cell activation and immune responses (1-3). The PD-1 protein contains an extracellular Ig V domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail that includes an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM). PD-1 is activated by the cell surface ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 (4). Upon activation, PD-1 ITIM and ITSM phosphorylation leads to the recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, which suppress TCR signaling (5-7). In addition to activated T cells, PD-1 is expressed in activated B cells and monocytes, although its function in these cell types has not been fully characterized (8). The PD-1 pathway plays an important role in immune tolerance (3); however, research studies show that cancer cells often adopt this pathway to escape immune surveillance (9). Consequently, blockade of PD-1 and its ligands is proving to be a sound strategy for neoplastic intervention (10).
