Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human PD-L1 recombinant protein (Position: E45-T290). Human PD-L1 shares 69% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse PD-L1. (reported region: E45-T290).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 40-50 kDa; calculated MW: 33275 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1; Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) also known as CD274 or B7-H1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD274 gene. It is mapped to 9p24.1. PD-L1 is a 40kDa type 1 transmembrane protein that has been speculated to play a major role in suppressing the immune system during particular events such as pregnancy, tissue allografts, autoimmune disease and other disease states such as hepatitis. It has been concluded that upregulation of PD-L1 on tumor MDCs downregulates T-cell immunity and that PD-L1 blockade may represent an approach for cancer immunotherapy. PD-L1 can provide positive costimulatory signals for innate and adaptive immunity and for protection against intracellular bacterial infection. What’s more, It has been found that PD1/PDL1 pathway may be a good target for restoring antitumor immunity in ovarian cancer. Functional note: Involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T- cell proliferation and production of IL10 and IFNG, in an IL2- dependent and a PDCD1-independent manner. Interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. . Reported localization: Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, placenta and lung. Weakly expressed in the thymus, spleen, kidney and liver. Expressed on activated T- and B-cells, dendritic cells, keratinocytes and monocytes. .
