Recombinant Anti-PD-L1 antibody [EPR19759] (ab213524)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human spleen tissue labelling PDI with ab243644 at 1.02 µg/mL (B), PD-L 1 with ab213524 at 1/100 dilution (C) and CD68 with ab213363 at 1/300 dilution (D). Anti-Rabbit and Mouse Polymer HRP was used as a secondary antibody, and DAPI was used for a nuclear counter stain. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20mins. Heat mediated antigen retrieval (Leica ER2, PH9.0, 20 minutes) was used in between rounds of tyramide signal amplification to remove the antibodies from the previous round, to avoid any cross-reactivity. 

Panel A: merged staining of anti- PD1 (green, Opal™520), anti- PD-L1 (red, Opal™570) and anti- CD68 (yellow, Opal™690).

Panel B: Anti- PD1 stained on antigen-stimulated T cells.

Panel C: anti- PD-L1 stained on cells involved in T cell inhibition

Panel D: anti-CD68 stained on macrophages.

The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of ab243644, ab213363 and ab213524 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.

The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

Lanes 1 - 6: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab213524 observed at 50 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.

ab213524 Recombinant Anti-PD-L1 antibody [EPR19759] was shown to specifically react with PD-L1 in wild-type A549 treated with 100 ng/mL IFN gamma for 48 h cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when both treated and untreated knockout cell line ab267054 (treated and untreated knockout cell lysates ab256831) were used. Wild-type and PD-L1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab213524 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human tonsil tissue labelling PD-L1 with ab213524 at a dilution of 1:250. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using AR9 antigen retrieval solution, and microwave treatment for 15 min at 20% power. Anti-Rabbit/Mouse HRP polymer (PerkinElmer Opal Polymer HRP Ms Plus Rb) was used as secondary antibody. Opal tyramide amplification was performed using Opal 520 fluorophore. Counterstained with DAPI stain. Image scanned with Vectra 3.0 and analyzed via Phenochart software.
