PD-1 (human) LANCE Ultra TR-FRET Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

The LANCE® Ultra Human PD-1 Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of human PD-1 in buffered solution and cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay..The LANCE® Ultra Human PD-1 Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of human PD-1 in buffered solution and cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay. No-wash steps, no separation steps TR-FRET technology Sensitive detection High reproducibility Faster time-to-results Easy automation 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well formats   LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One antibody of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore (ULight™ dye). Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.   Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), also known as cluster of differentiation 279 (CD279), belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily and is a transmembrane receptor protein. PD-1 is present on T –cells or B-cells and binds to ligands, such as PD-L1 and PD-L2, to down regulate the immune system by modulating many other cytokines and cytokine receptors. Anti PD-1 antibody drugs been shown to enhance the immune systems of several types of cancer patients.
