Design of the MC38-hPD‑L1-LZ cell line
We generated the MC38-hPD-L1-LZ clonal cell line expressing high levels of human PD-L1 and forming solid tumors in vivo. An optimized version of a luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) fusion protein is also stably expressed for in vivo imaging and ex vivo tracking.
MC38-hPD-L1-LZ features
- Form solid tumors upon subcutaneous injection in fully immunocompetent mice
- hPD-L1 is entirely humanized
- Express a luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) fusion reporter
- Injected cells can be followed in vivo and ex vivo with our LZ reporter
