PD-L1 Protein, Human (116a.a, HEK293, His)
The PD-L1 protein critically regulates immune tolerance by acting as a ligand for PDCD1/PD-1, regulating T cell activation threshold, and limiting effector responses. It may act as a costimulatory molecule for IL10-producing T cell subsets. PD-L1, Human (116a.a, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PD-L1 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.

Biological Activity
Description
The PD-L1 protein critically regulates immune tolerance by acting as a ligand for PDCD1/PD-1, regulating T cell activation threshold, and limiting effector responses. It may act as a costimulatory molecule for IL10-producing T cell subsets. PD-L1, Human (116a.a, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PD-L1 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.
Background
PD-L1 Protein assumes a critical role in both the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self, acting as a ligand for the inhibitory receptor PDCD1/PD-1 and thereby modulating the activation threshold of T-cells, ultimately limiting their effector response. Additionally, PD-L1 may function as a costimulatory molecule for T-cell subsets that predominantly produce interleukin-10 (IL10) through an as yet unidentified activating receptor. Beyond its role as an immune checkpoint, PD-L1 also acts as a transcription coactivator, translocating into the nucleus in response to hypoxia and interacting with phosphorylated STAT3 to promote the transcription of GSDMC, leading to pyroptosis. Exploited by tumors to attenuate anti-tumor immunity and escape immune system destruction, the PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway facilitated by PD-L1 interaction with PDCD1/PD-1 inhibits cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) effector function. Blocking the PDCD1-mediated pathway has shown promise in reversing exhausted T-cell phenotypes and normalizing anti-tumor responses, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
