Principle of the Assay: This assay is a sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for quantitative determination of human PD-L1 in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (EDTA, heparin or citrate). A monoclonal antibody specific for PD-L1 has been precoated onto the 96-well microtiter plate. Standards (STD) and samples are pipetted into the wells for binding to the coated antibody. After extensive washing to remove unbound compounds, PD-L1 is recognized by the addition of a biotinylated monoclonal antibody specific for PD-L1 (DET). After removal of excess biotinylated antibody, streptavidin-peroxidase (STREP-HRP) is added. Following a final washing, peroxidase activity is quantified using the substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The intensity of the color reaction is measured at 450nm after acidification and is directly proportional to the concentration of PD-L1 in the samples.
Background/Introduction: PD-L1, (also known as CD274 or B7-H1), is an immuno-coinhibitory member of the B7 family and functions as an immune checkpoint via its interaction with its receptors PD-1 (CD279) and CD80 (also known as B7.1) (1). PD-L1 is expressed by hematopoietic cells such as T, B and dendritic cells and by parenchymal cells in response to cytokine (i.e., IFN-gamma) induction. Ligation of PD-1 by PD-L1 (B7-H1; CD274) or PD-L2 (B7-DC; CD273) inhibits TCR-mediated T cell proliferation and production of IL-1, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-gamma and also inhibits BCR mediated signaling (2). PD-L1 binding to CD80 inhibits T cells proliferation. PD-1 deficient mice have a defect in peripheral tolerance and spontaneously develop autoimmune diseases (3). A novel approach to fight cancer is to target immune checkpoint proteins with antibody inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 that function as a tumor suppressing factor via the modulation of immune cell-tumor cell interactions (4). The soluble form of PD-L1 (sPD-L1) is expressed upon immune cells activation and can be secreted in the serum/plasma. Soluble checkpoints, such as sPD-1 or sPD-L1, are involved in positive or negative immune regulation and changes in their serum/plasma levels affect the development, prognosis and treatment of cancer (5). Increase of sPD-L1 or sPD-1 levels have been detected in samples with different types of cancer (6). This PD-L1 (human) ELISA Kit is developed to detect specifically human soluble PD-L1 in different biological fluids.
