Micrograph showing a PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). PD-L1 immunostain (22C3). (WC)

Programmed death-ligand 1, commonly abbreviated PD-L1, is a protein with an important role in immune system regulation and cancer.

Micrograph showing a PD-L1 negative NSCLC. PD-L1 immunostain (22C3). (WC)

Normally, PD-L1 on cells binds with programmed cell death 1 on the T lymphocytes.[1]

PD-L1 is also known as CD274.[2]

General

PD-L1 positive lung adenocarcinoma in a lymph node. 22C3 PD-L1 immunostain. (WC)
  • In theory, positive PD-L1 immunostaining predicts response to anti-PD-L1 drugs.[3]
    • Carcinoma cell is considered "PD-L1 positive" if the cell membrane is partially or completely stained.[4]
  • It is, however, more complex than that. Some tumour types are invariably positive, e.g. classical Hodgkin lymphoma, so testing is unhelpful. In contrast, tumors such as malignant melanoma respond regardless of PD-L1 immunoexpression.
  • The plethora of companion diagnostics developed for each PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor has created challenges, as these assays include different IHC antibody clones, staining protocols and platforms, scoring systems, and cutoffs for defining positivity.
    • Nivolumab - 28-8 (Dako)
    • Pembrolizumab - 22C3 (Dako)
    • Aterolizumab - SP142 (Ventana)
    • Durvalumab - SP263 (Ventana)
    • Avelumab - 73-10 (Dako)

Background

Cytotoxic T cell function is regulated by receptor pairs found on the tumour and lymphocyte:[1]

Function Tumour cell T cell
Antigen presentation MHC TCR
Signal inhibition PD-1 PD-L1 (CD274), PD-L2 (CD273)

Adequacy of PD-L1

  • 100 cells or more.[5]

Prognosis

Drugs - Immune checkpoint inhibitors

  • PD-1 inhibitors:
    • Nivolumab (Opdivo, Bristol-Myers Squibb).
    • Pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck).
  • PD-L1 inhibitors:
    • Atezolizumab (Tecentriq, Roche).[3]
    • Durvalumab (Imfinzi, AstraZeneca).
    • Avelumab (Bavencio, Merck/Pfizer).

Anti-PD-L1 drugs - use

PD-L1 antibodies are being used to treat:[7]
