mRNA expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of PD-1 gene expression in WT and B-hPD-1 mice by RT-PCR.
Mouse PD-1 mRNA was detected only in splenocytes of wild-type (+/+) mice. Human PD-1 mRNA was detected only in H/H mice, but not in +/+ mice.Phenotype
Protein Expression Analysis
Strain specific PD-1 expression analysis in homozygous B-hPD-1 mice by flow cytometry.
Splenocytes were collected from WT and homozygous B-hPD-1 (H/H) mice stimulated with anti-CD3ε in vivo, and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific anti-PD-1 antibody. Mouse PD-1 was detected in WT mice. Human PD-1 was exclusively detected in homozygous B-hPD-1 mice but not WT mice.
