VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody
The VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody is the first ready-to-use IVD IHC antibody that empowers you to evaluate the expression of PD-L1 protein using the OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit.

About PD-L1Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1, B7 homolog 1 [B7-H1], CD274) is a 40kDa type 1 transmembrane protein encoded by the CD274 gene that is part of a complex system of ligands and receptors involved in T cell activation and the immune response. PD-L1 is expressed on T-cells, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow derived mast cells as well as various nonhaematopeotic cells.1
The normal function of PD-L1 is to regulate the balance between T-cell activation and tolerance through interaction with its 2 receptors, programmed death 1 (PD-1, CD279) and CD80 (B7-1). PD-L1 is also expressed by tumors and acts at multiple sites to help tumors evade detection and elimination by the host immune system. In the lymph nodes, PD-L1 on antigen presenting cells (APC) binding to PD-1 (CD279) or CD80 (B7-1) on activated T cells delivers an inhibitory signal to the T cell.1,2
PD-L1 in CancerPD-L1 is expressed in a wide range of tumors with a high frequency, up to 88% in some types of cancer. In the tumor microenvironment PD-L1 expressed on tumor cells binds to PD-1 on activated T cells reaching the tumor. This delivers an inhibitory signal to those T cells, preventing them from killing target tumor cells, and protecting the tumor from immune elimination.3

Non-Small Cell Lung CancerLung cancer has been the most common cancer in the world for several decades, and by 2012, there were an estimated 1.8 million new cases, representing 12.9% of all new cancers. It was also the most common cause of death from cancer estimated to be responsible for nearly 1 in 5 (1.59 million deaths, 19.4% of the total).4 Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents approximately 80% to 85% of all lung cancers. Unfortunately, at the time of diagnosis, approximately 70% of patients with NSCLC already have advanced or metastatic disease not amenable to surgical resection. Furthermore, a significant percentage of patients with early stage NSCLC who have undergone surgery subsequently develop distant recurrence and die as a result of their lung cancer.5 Despite advances in the diagnosis, imaging, staging and treatment of NSCLC, the estimated overall 5-year survival for patients in Europe continues to be low (11%).6
