Anti-Mouse PD-L1/CD274 (10F.9G2) 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".

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (UniProt: Q9EP73; also known as PD-L1, PDCD1 ligand 1, Programmed death ligand 1, B7 homolog 1, B7-H1, CD274) is encoded by the Cd274 (also known as B7h1, Pdcd1l1, Pdcd1lg1, Pdl1) gene (Gene ID: 50533) in murine species. PD-L1 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein 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 domain (aa 19-239) with an Ig-like V type domain (aa 19-127) and an Ig-like C2 -type domain (aa 133-224), followed by a transmembrane domain (aa 240-260), and a cytoplasmic tail (aa 261-290). It is highly expressed in the heart, thymus, skeletal muscle, and lung. Its expression is also reported on activated dendritic cells, B-cells, and macrophages. It serves as an immune checkpoint inhibitor that binds to its receptor PD-1 expressed by T cells and other immune cells to regulate immune responses. Many tumor cells exploit this mechanism by overexpressing PD-L1 which often correlates with poor prognosis. PD-L1 expression can be up-regulated by interferon- treatment in monocytes, B cells, and macrophages. PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2 play a key role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance, a process by which the quiescence of autoreactive mature T cells is maintained. However, tumors and pathogens that cause chronic infections can exploit this pathway to escape T-cell mediated tumor-specific and pathogen-specific immunity. The interaction with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibits cytotoxic T lymphocytes effector function. The effector functions of T-cells expressing PD-1 can be downregulated by PD-L1 or PD-L2 expressed by the tumor cells. The blockage of the PD-1/PD-L1-mediated pathway results in the reversal of the exhausted T-cell phenotype and the normalization of the anti-tumor response, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy.
