Programmed cell death protein 1: Research, Clinical significance & Structure

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) (CD279 cluster of differentiation 279) is a protein encoded in humans by the PDCD1 gene. PD-1 is a cell surface receptor on T cells and B cells that has a role in regulating the immune system's response to the cells of the human body by down-regulating the immune system and promoting self-tolerance by suppressing T…
