Tumor sections were evaluated for PD-L1 expression by IHC as reported previously (11 (link)). Briefly, 4–5-μm tumor sections were treated with 3% H2O2 for 10 minutes, blocked with 5% goat serum for 1 hour, and then incubated with a primary anti-human PD-L1 antibody (#13684, Cell Signaling Technology) at 1:500 dilution at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, using Dako CSAII Biotin-free Tyramide Signal Amplification System Kit, slides were incubated with secondary antibody and amplification reagent. Final staining was carried out by adding 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine.
