PD-L1/B7-H1 Luminex Assays

PD-L1, also known as B7-H1 and CD274, is an approximately 65 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein in the B7 family of immune regulatory molecules. PD-L1 is expressed on inflammatory-activated immune cells including macrophages, T cells, and B cells, keratinocytes, enothelial and intestinal epithelial cells, as well as a variety of carcinomas and melanoma. PD-L1 protein binds to T cell B7-1/CD80 and PD-1. It suppresses T cell activation and proliferation and induces the apoptosis of activated T cells. ...
