Activated T cells in the tumor microenvironment can induce the expression of B7-H1/PD-L1 on cancer cells. B7-H1/PD-L1 then negatively regulates effector T cell responses through its interaction with PD-1 on activated T cells. Importantly, B7-H1/PD-L1 expression on cancer cells has been positively correlated with responsiveness to B7-H1/PD-L1 blockade. Trust the antibodies and Luminex® Screening Assays offered by R&D Systems to monitor the expression of B7-H1/PD-L1 and other checkpoint molecules in your research.

 Detection of B7-H1/PD-L1 in Human Colon Cancer Tissue. B7-H1/PD-L1 was detected in formalin fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human colon cancer using Mouse Anti-Human B7-H1/PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1561). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was observed in the cytoplasm.

 Detection of B7-H1/PD-L1 on Mouse Splenocytes. Mouse splenocytes were stained with Goat Anti-Mouse B7-H1/PD-L1 Fluorescein-conjugated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB1019F, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # IC108F, open histogram).

 Detection of B7-H1/PD-L1 by Western blot. Lysates of human placenta tissue were separated by SDS-PAGE. The PVDF membrane was probed with Goat Anti-Human B7-H1/PD-L1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF156) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1. |
