Description
The MIH4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the program death 1 (PD-1) receptor CD279, a member of the Ig superfamily. CD279 is an immunoregulatory receptor expressed on activated T cells, B cells and myeloid cells. Mice deficient in CD279 show a breakdown of peripheral tolerance and manifest multiple autoimmune symptoms. It contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic region. PD-L1 and PD-L2 are ligands of CD279 and are members of the B7 gene family. Interaction of CD279:PD-Ligands results in inhibition of T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. Reports suggest that the B7/CTLA-4 pathway functions primarily to attenuate, limit, and/or terminate naοve T-cell activation in secondary lymphoid organs. The PD-ligand:CD279 pathway, on the other hand, may primarily attenuate, limit, and/or terminate T-, B-, and myeloid cell activation/effector function at sites of inflammation in the periphery.
