Product Information

Storage

Store at 4°C. Optimal staining is achieved if slides are stained following CST's standard IHC protocols and are used within 8 weeks of assay date; however, signals may persist beyond two months.

Product Description

Each control slide contains formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded cell pellets: Raw 264.7 (mPD-L1 negative) and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (mPD-L1 positive), which serve as controls for mPD-L1 immunostaining.

Background

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1, B7-H1, CD274) is a member of the B7 family of cell surface ligands that regulate T cell activation and immune responses. The PD-L1 ligand binds the PD-1 transmembrane receptor and inhibits T cell activation. PD-L1 was discovered following a search for novel B7 protein homologs and was later shown to be expressed by antigen presenting cells, activated T cells, and tissues including placenta, heart, and lung (1-3). Similar in structure to related B7 family members, PD-L1 protein contains extracellular IgV and IgC domains and a short, cytoplasmic region. Research studies demonstrate that PD-L1 is expressed in several tumor types, including melanoma, ovary, colon, lung, breast, and renal cell carcinomas (4-6). Expression of PD-L1 in cancer is associated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which mediate PD-L1 expression through the release of interferon gamma (7). Additional research links PD-L1 expression to cancers associated with viral infections (8,9).
