The programmed cell death ligand (PD-L1) is also known as the cluster of differentiation (CD274) and B7 homolog (By-H1). It is a type-1 transmembrane protein that is involved in the regulation of humoral and cellular immune responses. When it interacts with its receptor (PD-1), it provides an inhibitory and stimulatory signal to help regulate T-cell activation and tolerance during tissue allografts, pregnancy, autoimmune disease and more. It is primarily expressed in antigen-presenting cells, placenta, activated B and T cells, and some tumors, such as carcinoma of the lung, rectum, and colon.
More Information
The Anti-PDL1 antibody is designed for research purposes. It has a clone called SP142, and the immunogen is the synthetic peptide that is derived from the C-terminus of the PD-L1 protein. The isotype is the Rabbit IgG, and it has an undetermined epitope with a molecular weight of 32 kDa.
Applications
The Anti-PDL1 antibody can be used in Immunohistochemistry applications. To start, you’ll want to use a paraffin-embedded or Formalin-fixed tissue sample and deparaffinized slides that can be achieved using xylene or graded alcohols. When you choose to work with the concentrated format, you’ll need to dilute the antibody using a ratio of 1:100, though this is an estimate. Your results may be different because of varying protocols and methods. If your ratio of dilution is 1:100, you can also find a pre-diluted formula available for purchase.
To retrieve the antigen, you should boil the tissue sections in an EDTA buffer with a pH of 8.0 for ten minutes. Then, it should be left to cool to room temperature for 20 minutes. After the cooling period, you should incubate it for ten minutes at room temperature.
The Anti-PDL1 antibody can help to research a lot of situations and carcinomas. Visit Spring Bioscience for more information today.
