Ji et al, 2016 IHC polyclonal Mouse polyclonal antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab174838) cases with staining intensity ≥ 2 in more than 5% of tumor cells were considered as positive
Yang et al, 2014 IHC polyclonal Rabbit anti-PD-L1 antibody (Proteintech Group Inc. Chicago, IL, USA, 17952-1-AP) membranous staining was present in ≥ 5% of the cells.
D'Incecco et al, 2015 IHC polyclonal Rabbit primary antibodies PD-L1 (CD274) ab58810 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) all cases with staining intensity ≥ 2 in more than 5% of tumour cells were considered as positive
Song et al, 2016 IHC monoclonal Rabbit anti-PD-L1 primary antibody (Proteintech Group Inc, Chicago, IL, USA, Catalog number: 66248-1-Ig) positive, when membranous staining was present in ≥ 5 % of the cells.
Zhang et al, 2014 IHC polyclonal primary anti-PD-L1 antibody (SAB2900365; Sigma-Aldrich) positive cut off quickscore of ≥ 3
Tang et al, 2015 IHC monoclonal Rabbit monoclonal anti-human antibody (E1L3N™, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) A 5% proportion of membrane-positive tumor cells which were defined as H-score ≥ 5 have been used as cutoff for PD-L1 positivity
Huynh et al, 2016 IHC monoclonal Monoclonal antibody (E1L3N, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) Positive PD-L1 expression on tumor cells for 5% cutoff
Inamura et al, 2016 IHC monoclonal anti-PD-L1 rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone: E1L3N, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) A score of 5% or more was categorized as PD-L1-positive
Ameratunga M, et al, 2015 IHC monoclonal Anti-PD-L1 rabbit IgG (E1L3N) cat # 13684, Cell Signaling Technology PD-L1 positivity was defined as > 5% cells with membranous staining of intensity 2. Strong positivity was defined as of 50% cells with membranous staining of intensity 2.
Takada et al, 2016 IHC monoclonal Rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone SP142, Spring Bioscience, Ventana, Tucson, AZ, USA). Positive PD-L1 protein expression for 5% cutoff
