Background Information


PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), also known as CD274 or B7-H1, is a 40 kDa type I transmembrane protein belonging to the B7 family within the immunoglobulin receptor superfamily. The protein contains immunoglobulin V-like and C-like domains and is expressed by a wide range of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, endothelial cells, and various tumor cells. PD-L1 serves as a ligand for PD-1 (CD279) and plays a critical role in immune regulation by inhibiting T-cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production upon engagement with PD-1. This interaction maintains immune homeostasis during infection or inflammation, preventing autoimmunity. However, in tumor microenvironments, PD-L1 expression enables immune evasion by suppressing cytotoxic T-cell function, contributing to tumor progression. PD-L1 expression is considered prognostic in several malignancies, including colon cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The PD-1/PD-L1 axis is a major target in cancer immunotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
