RK-10-Cy5 detects presence of PD-L1 on Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma tissues were incubated with either fluorescent RKC-10-Cy5 peptide (a–c) or SP263 antibody (d) to examine PD-L1 levels in Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells. RKC-10-Cy5 was able to specifically stain the RS cells (some but not all indicated by arrows), which are known to express high levels of PD-L1. PD-L1 expression in RS cells was also confirmed with the SP263 staining.
