Programmed death-1 (PD-1), also known as programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1) or CD279, is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the Ig superfamily. It is an immunoreceptor in the CD28/CTLA-4 family with an IgV-type extracellular domain showing 21–33% sequence identity with CTLA-4, CD28 and ICOS.  Members of the CD28/CTLA-4 family have been shown to either promote T cell activation (CD28 and ICOS) or inhibit T cell activation (CTLA­4 and PD­1).  The cytoplasmic domain of PD-1 contains two tyrosine residues, a membrane-proximal immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM). ITIM is widely found in immunoinhibitory receptors and the membrane-proximal tyrosine residue may play a central role for the inhibitory function of PD-1. PD-1 negatively regulates antigen receptor signaling by recruiting protein tyrosine phosphatase upon engaging with either of two ligands, PD-L1 or PD-L2. It inhibits the T-cell proliferation and production of related cytokines such as IL-1, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γ. PD-1 is involved in lymphocyte clonal selection and peripheral tolerance, and thus contributes to the prevention of autoimmune diseases. As a negative regulator of T- cell effector mechanisms, PD-1 may lead to suppression of anti-tumor immunity. Blockade of PD-1 inhibitory activity with antibodies enhances anti-tumor immunity in vivo.  PD-1 has been proposed as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
