Background Information
CD279, also known as Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), cell surface receptor which binds to PD-L1 and PD-L2 ligands; functions as immune checkpoint with important role in down regulating immune system by preventing T-cell activation. Targeted by Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab and other monoclonal antibodies in a new class of cancer drugs. CD279 is expressed predominantly on activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells. The interaction with CD279 ligands results in inhibition of T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion.
