Protein Concentration25µg size is bottled at 0.2mg/mL concentration. 100 µg size is supplied at a lot-specific concentration.
Storage and HandlingBriefly centrifuge the vial upon receipt. An unopened vial can be stored at 4°C for up to 2 weeks, or at -20°C or below for up to six months. The protein may be further diluted to 0.1 mg/mL using 0.22 µm-filtered PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For long-term storage, the diluted stock solution should be aliquoted and stored at ≤ –70°C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. If additional dilution is required, carrier proteins such as FBS or BSA should be added to maintain protein stability.

Background Information


Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1, also known as CD274 or B7-H1) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and a key immune checkpoint molecule in the B7 family. It is broadly expressed on immune cells (such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells) and in various tissues, as well as on many tumor types. PD-L1 interacts with its receptor PD-1, expressed on activated T and B cells, to deliver inhibitory signals that suppress T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic function. This interaction plays a critical role in maintaining immune homeostasis, preventing autoimmunity, and enabling immune evasion by tumors. Therapeutic antibodies targeting PD-L1 or PD-1 have shown significant clinical benefit in cancer immunotherapy by restoring T cell activity. PD-L1 is also implicated in tolerance during pregnancy, chronic infections, and transplantation. It contains two extracellular Ig-like domains, and its expression can be induced by inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ.
