This antibody is not ideal - to stain your PDL1+ population, you have to use it at a pretty high concentration (1:20)

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Detection

Flow cytometry

Results Summary

This antibody kinda sucks, when titrated on PDL1+ cells it only really starts to show a signal above 1:60, and even then it is weak. I wouldn't recommend using this antibody below 1:20 if you're using a static concentration for a staining panel.

Summary

The Good

Does stain PDL1+ cells

The Bad

Can't dilute it very much

The Bottom Line

This antibody isn't the best, but if you can't use other PDL1 clones for some reason, it will indeed stain the PDL1+ population if used at a high concentration.
