Monoclonal antibody to Human PD-L1 FITC conjugated (Clone: ABM5F25)

PD-L1 (CD274/B7-H1) is a critical membrane-bound costimulatory molecule belonging to the B7 superfamily that inhibits immune responses through its receptor, PD-1. PD-L1 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases (programmed death 1) . It is widely expressed in the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), may co-stimulate T cells, and regulates inflammatory responses. PD-L1 exerts inflammation regulatory functions via a negative co-stimulatory effect on T cell functions to inhibit cytokine secretion, facilitates apoptosis of activated T cells, and induces T cell anergy. Aberrant expression and dysregulation of CD274 have been reported during bacterial infection, inflammation, and in numerous autoimmune diseases.
