The 10F.9G2-CP168 monoclonal antibody is a chimeric version of the original 10F.9G2 antibody. The variable domain sequences are identical to the original 10F.9G2 but the constant region sequences have been switched from rat IgG2b to mouse IgG1. The 10F.9G2-CP168 antibody contains no Fc mutations just as the original rat IgG2b antibody does not. The 10F.9G2-CP168 antibody reacts with mouse PD-L1 (programmed death ligand 1) also known as B7-H1 or CD274. PD-L1 is a 40 kDa type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. PD-L1 is expressed on T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, NK cells, dendritic cells, as well as IFNγ stimulated monocytes, epithelial cells and endothelial cells. PD-L1 binds to its receptor, PD-1, found on CD4 and CD8 thymocytes as well as activated T and B lymphocytes and myeloid cells. Engagement of PD-L1 with PD-1 leads to inhibition of TCR-mediated T cell proliferation and cytokine production. PD-L1 is thought to play an important role in tumor immune evasion. Induced PD-L1 expression is common in many tumors and results in increased resistance of tumor cells to CD8 T cell mediated lysis. In mouse models of melanoma, tumor growth can be transiently arrested via treatment with antibodies which block the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1. The 10F.9G2 antibody has been shown to block the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 and between PD-L1 and B7-1 (CD80).
