Abstract

Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PDL1) is a transmembrane protein that is characterized as an immune regulatory molecule. We recently developed a recombinant single-chain fragment of variable domain (scFv) against PDL1, which showed high binding efficiency to purified recombinant PDL1 protein. However, at that time, proof-of-concept data for the effect of scFv using PDL1-expressing cells was lacking. In this study, we conducted two kinds of cell-based immunoassays, western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using anti-PDL1 scFv. The results indicate that scFv can selectively and sensitively detect PDL1 from PDL1 positive human cancer cell lines. Our findings suggest that scFv could be used as a potential PDL1 inhibitor agent and probe for cell-based immunoassays to detect PDL1.
