Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile deionized water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/mL. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

Programmed Death-1 (PD-1), firstly cloned from mouse T cell hybridoma 2B4.11, is one member of CD28/CTLA-4 superfamily. PD-1 belongs to type I transmembrane protein and acts as an important immunosuppressive molecule. The cytoplamsic tail of PD-1 contains two structural motifs, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) formed by two tyrosine residues which make the difference in PD-1 signal mediating. Mouse PD-1 is expressed in thymus and shares about 69% aa sequence identity with human PD-1. Recently, programmed death-1 (PD-1) with its ligands, programmed death ligand B7H1 (PD-L1) and B7DC (PD-L2), was found to regulate T-cell activation and tolerance, upon ligand binding, inhibiting T-cell effector functions in an antigen-specific manner. PD-1 gene knocked out mice would induce some autoimmune diseases, which suggests that PD-1 acts as a co-inhibitory molecule actively participating in maintaining peripheral tolerance. Thus, PD-1 may be a useful target for the immunologic therapy of carcinoma,infection,autoimmune diseases as well as organ transplantation.
