Provider: Invitrogen Antibodies
Product name: CD274 (PD-L1, B7-H1) Monoclonal Antibody (MIH1), eFluor™ 450, eBioscience™
Antibody type: Monoclonal
Antigen: Other
Description: Description: The MIH1 monoclonal antibody reacts with human B7-H1, also known as PD-L1. B7-H1, a member of the B7 family, has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa and belongs to the Ig superfamily. B7-H1 is expressed on a majority of leukocytes. B7-H1 is a ligand for PD-1. Interaction of PD-1 with either PD-L1 (B7-H1) or PD-L2 (B7-DC) results in inhibition of T and B cell responses. MIH1 is reported to be a blocking antibody. Applications Reported: This MIH1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This MIH1 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.5 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. eFluor® 450 is an alternative to Pacific Blue®. eFluor® 450 emits at 445 nm and is excited with the Violet laser (405 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome. Excitation: 405 nm; Emission: 445 nm; Laser: Violet Laser. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
Reactivity: Human
Host: Mouse
Isotype: IgG
Antibody clone number: MIH1
Vial size: 100 Tests

Open histograms represent cells stained with an isotype IgG1 antibody tagged with a matching PE fluorochrome. Shaded histograms represent PD-L1. Quantitative measurements reflect mean fluorescence index. LNCaP does not express PD-L1 at rest or in response to IFN-gamma. DU145 expresses PD-L1 at rest and has little response to IFN-gamma indicating an innate immune resistance phenotype. PC3 expresses PD-L1 at rest but robustly up-regulates this expression in response to IFN-gamma displaying a more classic adaptive immune resistance phenotype.

( A ) In PMA-stimulated THP-1-differentiated M 0 macrophages, cells were then treated with LPS (1 mug/mL)/IFN-gamma (10 ng/mL) and IL-4 (25 ng/mL)/IL-13 (25 ng/mL) for polarization of M 1 and M 2 , respectively, in the absence and presence of neutralizing antibodies (5 mug/mL) against CD274 (alpha-PD-L1) and CD279 (alpha-PD-1) according to the experimental design. ( B ) For immunostaining, cells were stained with CD80 and CD209 for dissecting M 1 and M 2 , respectively. Immunostaining followed by flow cytometric histogram analysis showed the expression of CD274 and CD279 in these cells. ( C ) Furthermore, the expression of CD80 and CD209 in M 1 and M 2 without or with the blockade of CD274 and CD279 were shown. For all flow cytometric analysis, representative data were selectively obtained from three individual experiments, and the percentage of positive cells is shown.

Fibroblasts were cultured alone (w/o) or co-cultured in direct contact with HPV-positive SCC154 (SCC154 direct) or with conditioned medium from HPV-positive SCC154 (SCC154 CM) as indicated. Graphs (A) show IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha levels in culture supernatants (mean +- SEM; n = 4). The dashed red line indicates the lowest value (15.6 pg/ml) of the dynamic range for the ELISA assays used. Neutralizing antibodies anti-IFN-gamma (B,C) , anti-TNF-alpha (D,E) , or anti-CD81 (F,G) were added to the cultures as indicated. Illustrative histograms show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression on fibroblasts cultured alone (black histograms), co-cultured directly with HPV-positive SCC154 or with conditioned medium from HPV-positive SCC154 alone (red histograms) or in the presence of blocking antibodies (green histograms). Graphs show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression (mean +- SEM; n = 3) on fibroblasts for the indicated treatments. ns, not significant (one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons) Numbers adjacent to plots represent MFI values; dashed histograms show control staining with isotype-matched antibodies. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.

Experimental details: Figure 7 The TLR9 antagonists ODN TTAGGG and chloroquine inhibit PD-1 ligands up-regulation on fibroblasts co-cultured with HPV-positive HNSCCs. Fibroblasts were cultured alone (w/o) or co-cultured in direct contact with HPV-positive SCC154 (SCC154 direct) or with conditioned medium from HPV-positive SCC154 (SCC154 CM) in the presence or absence of the TLR9 antagonists ODN TTAGGG (ODN) or chloroquine (CHQ). Illustrative histograms show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression on fibroblasts cultured alone (black histograms), co-cultured directly with HPV-positive SCC154 (red histograms) or co-cultured directly with HPV-positive SCC154 in the presence of ODN (A) or CHQ (H) (green histograms). Illustrative histograms show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression on fibroblasts cultured alone (black histograms), cultured with conditioned medium from HPV-positive SCC154 (red histograms) or with conditioned medium from HPV-positive SCC154 in the presence of ODN (B) or CHQ (I) (green histograms). Graphs show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression (mean +- SEM; n = 6) on fibroblasts for the indicated treatments (C,J) . Illustrative histograms show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression on fibroblasts cultured alone (black histograms) or in the presence of ODN (D) or CHQ (K) (green histograms). Graphs show PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression (mean +- SEM; n = 4) on fibroblasts for the indicated treatments (E,L) . HPV-positive SCC154 were cultured alone or co-cultured in direct contact (direct) with fibroblasts in the presence
