Description :CD279, also known as programmed death-1 (PD-1), is a 50-55 kD glycoprotein belonging tothe CD28 family of the Ig superfamily. PD-1 is expressed on activated splenic T and B cells andthymocytes. It is induced on activated myeloid cells as well. PD-1 is involved in lymphocyteclonal selection and peripheral tolerance through binding its ligands, B7-H1 (PD-L1) and B7-DC (PD-L2). It has been reported that PD-1 and PD-L1 interactions are critical to positiveselection and play a role in shaping the T cell repertoire. PD-L1 negative costimulation isessential for prolonged survival of intratesticular islet allografts.
