PD-L1 in gestational trophoblastic disease: an antibody evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Treatment with antibodies directed against programed-cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a novel therapy for patients with gestational trophoblastic disease. Assessment of PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue is commonly used to identify patients who might benefit from anti-PD-L1 treatment. Multiple antibodies are available to detect PD-L1-expressing cells, and percentages of PD-L1-expressing cells in samples of patients with gestational trophoblastic disease indicated by these antibodies differ substantially. This raises the question which PD-L1 antibody best reflects PD-L1 expression to select patients for treatment.

Material and methods

Seven commercially available antibodies for PD-L1 staining (E1L3N, 73-10, 22C3, CAL10, SP142, 28-8, SP263) were validated on Chinese
