| Immunogen: | Human PD-1 |
| Endotoxin Level: | < 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method |
| Antigen Distribution: | PD-1 is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, a subset of thymocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and some tumor cells and is also retained in the intracellular compartments of regulatory T cells (Tregs). |
| Formulation: | This biosimilar antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. |
| Specificity: | This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable region sequence as the therapeutic antibody Pembrolizumab. This product is for research use only. Pembrolizumab (lambrolizumab) activity is directed against human PD-1. |
| Additional Applications Reported In Literature: | FC FA ELISA WB IP |
PD-1 is a transmembrane protein in the CD28/CTLA-4 subfamily of the Ig superfamily1, 2. When stimulated via the T cell receptor (TCR), Tregs translocate PD-1 to the cell surface3. Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; CD274; B7H1) and programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2; CD273; B7DC) have been identified as PD-1 ligands1. PD-1 is co-expressed with PD-L1 on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs)2. Additionally, PD-1 is co-expressed with IL2RA on activated CD4+ T cells3.
PD-1 is an immune checkpoint receptor that suppresses cancer-specific immune responses4. Additionally, PD-1 acts as a T cell inhibitory receptor and plays a critical role in peripheral tolerance induction and autoimmune disease prevention as well as important roles in the survival of dendritic cells, macrophage phagocytosis, and tumor cell glycolysis2. PD-1 prevents uncontrolled T cell activity, leading to attenuation of T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic activities. Additionally, the PD-1 pathway is a major mechanism of tumor immune evasion, and, as such, PD-1 is a target of cancer immunotherapy2.
Pembrolizumab was generated as a humanized monoclonal antibody by grafting the variable region sequences of a mouse anti-human PD-1 antibody onto a human IgG4-κ isotype framework containing a stabilizing S228P Fc mutation5, 6. Pembrolizumab shows high affinity for the PD-1 receptor and prevents PD-1 binding to ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. Additionally, pembrolizumab strongly inhibits PD-L1 and PD-L2 and has robust activity in a functional ex vivo T cell modulation assay using human donor blood cells.
Pembrolizumab is used in adult and pediatric patients to treat unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with certain genetic abnormalities7. Binding of pembrolizumab to PD-1 does not engage Fc receptors or activate complement and therefore is devoid of cytotoxic activity8.
