HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) PD-L1/B7-H1 or (B) irrelevant protein, and eGFP were stained with Mouse Anti-Human PD-L1/B7-H1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1561R) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). Quadrant markers were set based Mouse IgG1 Isotype Control Antibody staining (Catalog # MAB002, data not shown). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.

Human PD-L1/B7-H1 ELISA Standard Curve.

Recombinant Human PD-L1/B7-H1 protein was serially diluted 2-fold and captured by Mouse Anti-Human PD-L1/B7-H1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1561R) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human PD-L1/B7-H1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF156) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998) followed by Substrate Solution (Catalog # DY999) and stopping the enzymatic reaction with Stop Solution (Catalog # DY994).

Background: PD-L1/B7-H1

Human B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1), also called programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PDCD1L1), is a member of the growing B7 family of immune proteins that provide signals for both stimulating and inhibiting T cell activation. Other family members include B7-1, B7-2, B7-H2, PDL2 and B7-H3. B7 proteins are members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. Their extracellular domains contain 2 Ig-like domains and all members have short cytoplasmic domains. Among the family members, there is about 20-25% amino acid identity. Human and mouse B7-H1 share approximately 70% amino acid sequence identity. B7-H1 has been identified as one of two ligands for programmed death-1 (PD-1), a member of the CD28 family of immunoreceptors. The B7-H1 gene encodes a 291 amino acid (aa) type I membrane precursor protein with a putative 18 aa signal peptide, a 220 aa extracellular domain, a 21 aa transmembrane region, and a 31 aa cytoplasmic domain. Human B7-H1 is constitutively expressed in several organs such as heart, skeletal muscle, placenta and lung, and in lower amounts in thymus, spleen, kidney and liver. B7-H1 expression is upregulated in a small fraction of activated T and B cells and a much larger fraction of activated monocytes. B7-H1 expression is also induced in dendritic cells and keratinocytes after IFN-gamma stimulation. Interaction of B7-H1 with PD-1 results in inhibition of TCR-mediated proliferation and cytokine production. The B7-H1:PD-1 pathway is involved in the negative regulation of some immune responses and may play an important role in the regulation of peripheral tolerance.
