Strain Description
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PDCD1/PD-1) is a member of the B7-CD28 costimulatory receptor family. It is an inhibitory receptor expressed on activated T cells and plays a role in regulating the function of effector T cells, including CD8+ T cells, and promoting the differentiation of CD4+ T cells into regulatory T cells. PD-1 is expressed in a variety of tumors and plays an important role in antitumor immunity. In addition, PD-1 is involved in the defense against autoimmune diseases and has inhibitory effects on antitumor and antimicrobial immunity [1]. PD-1 binds to programmed death ligands 1 and 2 (PD-L1 and PD-L2) to inhibit T cell activation, reduce the production of corresponding cytokines, and regulate T cell survival [2]. Drugs targeting this pathway can reactivate T cells to activate antitumor immune responses [3].
This strain is a genetically modified mouse model in which the gene encoding the mouse PD-1 protein is humanized, resulting in the expression of human PD-1 protein in mice. This model can be used for research in drug development, efficacy and safety evaluation, tumor immunotherapy evaluation, and immune system mechanisms related to PD-1.

Strain Strategy
The mouse Pdcd1 gene was edited using gene editing technology to replace the sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse PD-1 protein with the sequence from the human PD1 gene encoding the human PD-1 protein extracellular domain while retaining the mouse signal peptide.
