Pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1)  (Synonyms: MK-3475 (anti-PD-1); Lambrolizumab (anti-PD-1))

Cat. No.: HY-P9902A Purity: 99.90%
Technical Support

Pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) is a humanized IgG4 antibody and PD-1 inhibitor. Pembrolizumab produces PD-1 blockade, preventing PD-L1 and PD-L2 from connecting to PD-1. This avoids the uncontrolled regulation of T cells on cells that normally express PD-1.

    In Vitro

    Deferoxamine (Df) chelates pembrolizumab and does not block or alter the binding affinity or specificity of pembrolizumab to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Experiments confirmed that 89Zr-Df-Pembrolizumab has a specific activity of 740 mBq/mg antibody. mBq is the unit of radioactivity, used to measure radioactive decay[2].
    Positron emitter 89Zr-labeled deferoxamine (Df)-Pembrolizumab, through PET imaging, its biodistribution has be dynamically tracked. The results shows that pembrolizumab remained stable in the blood circulation and accumulated most in liver and spleen tissues. And it shows similar biodistribution and pharmacokinetics in mice and rat[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
