Measurement of PD-L1 in melanoma: a quantitative antibody comparison

Measurement of PD-L1 in melanoma: a quantitative antibody comparison

Background Immunohistochemical detection of PD-L1 may be used in the future as a biomarker to help select an immunotherapeutic regimen for patients with advanced melanoma. For example, patients whose tumors are PD-L1+ may receive anti-PD-1 monotherapy, and those whose tumors are PD-L1(-) may receive combination anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4. The evaluation of the utility of PD-L1 as a biomarker has...

A focus on PD-L1 in human melanoma.

Treatment of metastatic melanoma with inhibitors of the BRAF V600 oncogene in melanoma has been limited by the development of resistance. Combining the BRAF inhibitors with immunotherapy may prolong the response, but will acquisition of resistance to BRAF inhibitors also make melanoma cells resistant to immunotherapy?

Over-Expression of Immunosuppressive Molecules, PD-L1 and PD-L2, in Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Use of the 22C3 anti–PD-L1 antibody to determine PD-L1 expression in multiple automated immunohistochemistry platforms

BACKGROUND For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treatment with pembrolizumab is limited to patients with tumours expressing PD-L1 assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx (Dako, Inc.) companion diagnostic test, on the Dako Autostainer Link 48 (ASL48) platform. Optimised protocols are urgently needed for use of the 22C3 antibody concentrate to test PD-L1 express...

Structural basis of the therapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab

Monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway have achieved unprecedented success in cancer treatment over the last few years. Atezolizumab is the first PD-L1 monoclonal antibody approved by US FDA for cancer therapy; however the molecular basis of atezolizumab in blocking PD-1/PD-L1 interaction is not fully understood. Here we have solved the crystal structure of PD-L1/atezolizu...
