PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx Advancing Immunotherapy Options Cytotoxic T cells work to identify as well as eliminate infected cells and tumor cells from the body. To lessen the damage to surrounding tissue, normal cells distinguish themselves by expressing a protein signal called PD-L1 (programmed death ligand 1). This PD-L1 signal is a stop sign developed to avoid elimination of normal cells by cytotoxic T cells. T cells detect the PD-L1 signal through a receptor called PD-1 (programmed death receptor 1). Some tumors can also deliver the PD-L1 signal to mimic normal cells and escape elimination. Anti-PD-1 therapy operates by blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. PD-L1 expression may be associated with patient benefit from anti-PD-1 therapy.
