Description
Woodchuck PD-1 / NFAT - Reporter - Jurkat Recombinant Cell Line | 79456 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Immunotherapy/Cell Line
Application: • Screen for activators or inhibitors of woodchuck PD-1 signaling in a cellular context • Characterize the biological activity of woodchuck PD-1 and its interactions with ligands
Background: The binding of Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1), a receptor expressed on activated Tcells, to its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, negatively regulates immune responses. The PD-1 ligands are found on most cancers, and PD-1:PD-L1/2 interaction inhibits T cell activity and allows cancer cells to escape immune surveillance. The PD-1:PD-L1/2 pathway is also involved in regulating autoimmune responses, making these proteins promising therapeutic targets for a number of cancers, as well as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, lupus, and type I diabetes.
