False colour image of Western blot: Anti-PD-L1 antibody [CAL10] - Mouse IgG2a staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab279293 was shown to bind specifically to PD-L1. A band was observed at 45-65 kDa in treated wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Cd274 knockout cell line ab267054 (knockout cell lysate ab256831). To generate this image, wild-type and Cd274 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

This data was produced using ab279293, the same clone in a different formulation.

Blocking/Dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.

IHC image of PD-L1 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human tonsil* performed on a Leica BOND^TM system using the standard protocol F.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab279293, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A rabbit anti-mouse IgG2a, was added for 8 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
