PD-L1 (programmed cell death 1 ligand 1) or CD274 is a 290-amino acid single pass type I transmembrane protein of the Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily. It contains one Ig V-like and one Ig C-like domains in the extracellular region, and a 30-amino acid cytoplasmic tail. It was originally cloned as a homolog of B7 (termed B7-H1). It is 20% and 15% identical to B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86), respectively. It was also cloned as a ligand (termed PDCD1L1 or PD-L1) that binds to PD-1 (CD279) and B7-1 (CD80), but not to other B7 family members, such as CTLA4 (CD152), CD28, or ICOS (CD278). PD-L1 or CD274 is involved in the T cell costimulatory signal, essential for T-cell proliferation and production of IL10 and IFNγ. Interaction with PD-1, which has a cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. PD-L1 is up-regulated on T- and B-cells, dendritic cells, keratinocytes and monocytes after LPS and IFNγ activation or by surface Ig cross-linking. It is expressed in many types of freshly isolated human cancers but not in most normal tissues. Blockade of PD-L1 upregulates IL12 expression and enhances antitumor immunity in mice bearing ovarian tumors. Therefore, PD-L1 has been proposed as a target for cancer immunotherapy through pre-activated T cells that could be enhanced by blockade of PD-L1-induced inhibitory signaling.
Gene Symbol: PD-L1; CD274; B7-H1; B7H1; PDL1; PDCD1L1; PDCD1LG1
NCBI Gene ID: 29126
Uniprot Entry: Q9NZQ7
Construct Details: The recombinant human CD274-Fc fusion is expressed as a 448 amino acid protein consisting of Phe19 - Arg238 region of CD274 (UniProt accession #Q9NZQ7) and a C-terminal Fc from human IgG1, which exists as a dimer under non-reducing conditions (see the gel image above). The purified protein is further biotinylated using standard procedure.

Technical Data 1: Determination of Binding Affinity to Human PD-1 by ELISA
Recombinant PD-1-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0763) and Fc protein alone (SKU#FCL0029) was immobilized at 100 ng/well on a 96-well NuncMaxisorp plate for a functional ELISA with serially diluted biotinylated PD-L1-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0781B). Fc protein alone was used as a negative control to demonstrate the specificity of PD-1:PD-L1 binding under the experimental conditions. The binding curve was fit and EC50 (the concentration at 50% of max binding) was calculated for PD-1: PD-L1 binding to be 495 ± 74 ng/ml with a linear binding range between 50 and 2500 ng/ml.
Technical Data 2: Determination of Binding Affinity to Human CD80 by ELISA
Recombinant CD80-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0723) and Fc protein alone (SKU#FCL0029) was immobilized at 100 ng/well on a 96-well NuncMaxisorp plate for a functional ELISA with serially diluted biotinylated PD-L1-Fc protein (SKU#FCL0781B). Fc protein alone was used as a negative control to demonstrate the specificity of CD80:PD-L1 binding under the experimental conditions. The binding curve was fit and EC50 (the concentration at 50% of max binding) was calculated for CD80 : PD-L1 binding to be 1967 ± 268 ng/ml with a linear binding range between 250 and 10,000 ng/ml.
