Anti-Human PD-L1 (29E.2A3) Colorwheel^® Dye-Ready mAb

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Clone 29E.2A3 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects human PD-L1 (CD274). It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.

Full-length recombinant human PD-L1.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Flow cytometry in PHA-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Flow Cytometry Analysis (FC): Staining of one million PHA-stimulated Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was performed using 5 μL of a 1:1 mixture of Cat. No. CWA-1069, Anti-Human PD-L1 (29E.2A3) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb and Cat. No. CWD-PE ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready Phycoerythrin (PE) Dye or an equivalent amount of PE-conjugated Mouse IgG2b isotype control.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (UniProt: Q9NZQ7; also known as PD-L1, PDCD1 ligand 1, Programmed death ligand 1, hPD-L1, B7 homolog 1, B7-H1, CD274) is encoded by the CD274 (also known as B7H1, PDCD1L1, PDCD1LG1, PDL1) gene (Gene ID: 29126) in human. PD-L1 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains a large extracellular (aa 19-238) with an Ig-like V-type domain (aa 19-127) and an Ig-like C2-type domain (aa 133-225), followed by a transmembrane domain (aa 239-259) and a cytoplasmic tail (aa 260-290). PD-L1 is expressed on activated T- and B-cells, dendritic cells, keratinocytes, and monocytes. Higher expression has also been reported in heart, skeletal muscle, placenta, and lung. It plays a critical role in induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self. When engaged together with the TCR, the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, deliver an inhibitory signal to T cell proliferation and cytokine production. While PD-L1 is broadly expressed in hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells, PD-L2 expression is highly restricted to antigen presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. The PD-1 pathway plays a key role in the progressive loss of effector T cell responses during chronic HIV infection. Under some conditions, blockade of this pathway can restore many T cell functions.

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL PBS. Protect from light.
