PeproTech's CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human PD-1 Fc is a glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimer of 501 amino acid residues whose monomer consists of the 268-amino-acid length mature PD-1 sequence fused to the 231-amino-acid length Fc portion of human IgG1 by two glycines. The calculated molecular weight of monomeric CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human PD-1 Fc is 55.3 kDa, however, due to glycosylation, it migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 180-200 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under non-reducing conditions.

Cell-mediated immune responses are initiated by T lymphocytes that are themselves stimulated by cognate peptides bound to MHC molecules on antig en-presenting cells (APC). T-cell activation is generally self-limited as activated T cells express receptors such as PD-1 (also known as PDCD-1) that mediate inhibitory signals from the APC. PD-1 can bind two different but related ligands, PDL-1 and PDL-2. Upon binding to either of these ligands, signals generated by PD-1 inhibit the activation of the immune response in the absence of "danger signals" such as LPS or other molecules associated with bacteria or other pathogens. Evidence for this is seen in PD1-null mice who exhibit hyperactivated immune systems and autoimmune diseases. Despite its predicted molecular weight, PD-1 often migrates at higher molecular weight in SDS-PAGE.
