Pd l1

Manufactured by BioLegend
Sourced in United States, Germany

PD-L1 is a cell surface protein that plays a key role in regulating the immune system. It is expressed on various cell types, including tumor cells, and interacts with the PD-1 receptor on T cells, leading to the inhibition of T cell activation and immune responses. PD-L1 is a critical component in the immune checkpoint pathway and is a target of interest for immunotherapeutic approaches.

To examine the in vitro PD-L1 downregulation by CARG-2020, MC38 cells were stimulated with 20 ng/mL mouse IFN-γ and at the same time infected with two multiplicity of infection (MOI) of the indicated VLVs. After 26 h of stimulation/infection, cells were lifted and stained for PD-L1 (cat#124308, BioLegend), and analyzed for the percentage of PD-L1-positive and -negative cells by flow cytometry. For data analysis, we used GraphPad Prism software, version 9 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA). BHK21 cells stably expressing PD-L1 transgene were infected with PD-L1 shRNA VLV at 1 MOI infection. Cells collected by scraping and analyzed by Western blot probed with anti-PD-L1 (Bio X cell # BE0101), and anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. PD-L1 band densities were analyzed and normalized with actin loading control.

Frozen sections of the primary tumor and liver metastases were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS and blocked with blocking solution (5% horse sera and 1% goat sera in PBS). Immunohistochemical staining of tissue sections was performed using antibodies against PD-L1 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), CD31 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), fibrinogen (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and various immune cells, such as CD8 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), F4/80 (Abd Serotec, Raleigh, NC, USA), and CD45 (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA). To image delivery of iv injected rat anti-PD-L1 IgG or isotype control IgG in tumors, the tissue sections were incubated with Alexa-fluor 647-labeled anti-rat IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA). All images were acquired using laser scan confocal microscopy (Nikon Inc., Tokyo, Japan). ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) was used to calculate the area fractions of positive staining on the captured fluorescence images [15 ]. All graphs are plotted based on the area fractions, and each symbol represents an individual imaging analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
