PD-L1 TN-cyclon Kit Box

This is a high-sensitivity assay kit for human PD-L1 using "improved enzyme cycling method (TN-cyclon™)". This kit does not require special equipment but can quantify extremely small amounts of PD-L1. This feature enables high-sensitivity assay of human PD-L1 in samples containing serum or exosomes.

* This product is for research use only.

TN-cyclon (improved enzyme cycling method)

TN-cyclon™ (improved enzyme cycling method)
Ultrasensitive protein detection technology combining sandwich ELISA and enzyme cycling. The substrate reacted by sandwich ELISA becomes the substrate for the next enzyme cycling method, and the reaction is repeated. By measuring Thio-NADH accumulated at this time, it is possible to quantify very small amounts of protein.

What is the relation between PD-L1 and Cancer

PD-L1 is an immunosuppressive protein molecule that inhibits or stops the activity of T cells by binding to its receptor, PD-1. PD-L1 is normally expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, but it is also known to be expressed on the cell surface of tumor cells and non-transformed cells in the tumor microenvironment. It has also been shown that blocking the binding with PD-1 by immune checkpoint inhibitors inhibits the growth of tumor cells, and the expression level of PD-L1 in tumor tissue and the amount of PD-L1 released into the blood are considered as candidates for useful predictive biomarkers.

PD-L1 & Cancer-1

PD-L1 is also present in serum (soluble PD-L1) and exosomes. In cancer, exosomes are used for horizontal transmission and play an important role in the mechanism of cancer metastasis. In addition, since PD-L1 is also present in the serum of healthy individuals to a small extent, it is important to understand how PD-L1 changes quantitatively during the transition from healthy individuals to cancer patients. These findings will reaffirm the importance of immune checkpoints and contribute to improving the response rate of immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, since the amount of exosomes is small in the first place and PD-L1 is also low in the serum of healthy individuals, ultra-trace measurement of PD-L1 is necessary to distinguish the transition from healthy individuals to early-stage cancer patients.

Assay Example

Standard Curve

The left graph shows the calibration curve of the standard PD-L1 concentrations (pg/ml) obtained from the absorbance data (405 nm (Δ 0 min)). The right table shows the absorbance and the coefficient of variation (CV) data of each PD-L1 concentration.
Measurement wavelength: 405 nm (primary wavelength), 660 nm (reference wavelength), Measurement time: 60 min

Standard curve - Table

Limit of Detection

The limit of detection, calculated using the standard deviation (SD) of the blank absorbance (3SD applied) and the slope of the calibration curve, was below 0.2 pg/mL (0.154 pg/mL in the example above).


Spike and Recovery Test (PD-L1 in serum)

PD-L1 with a known concentration (100 pg/ml) was added to serum samples and the recovery rate of it was calculated.
* The serum samples were diluted 100 fold before use in Sample Diluent.
