Human PD-L1 (CD274)

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; CD274; B7-H1) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein widely expressed in many types of tissues that acts as a ligand for the immune inhibitory receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1; CD279)^{1, 2, 3}. The PD-1 pathway is responsible for T cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxic secretion, with PD-1/PD-L1 interaction triggering inhibitory signals that dampen T cell function. PD-L1 also plays a critical role in the differentiation of inducible regulatory T cells⁴.

In normal tissues, PD-L1/PD-1 ligation is crucial to maintaining homeostasis of the immune system and preventing autoimmunity during infection and inflammation⁴. In the tumor microenvironment, their interaction provides an immune escape mechanism for tumor cells by turning off cytotoxic T cells. As such, blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 interaction is a target of many anti-cancer immunotherapies.

29E.2A3 was generated by immunizing female BALB/c mice with purified hPD-L1 cDNA⁵. Spleen cells were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells, and the resulting hybridomas were screened by ELISA for reactivity against hPD-L1–Ig fusion protein followed by cell-surface staining of hPD-L1–transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells and 300.19 cells.

PD-L1 is commonly expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells (macrophages, activated B cells, dendritic cells), some epithelial cells under inflammatory conditions, some activated T cells, and several types of tumors as well as tumor infiltrating immune cells. PD-L1 can also exist in a soluble form (sPD-L1) in myeloid-derived cells (monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells) and several human cancer lines.
