Test Details: The PD-L1 SP142 test is an immunohistochemistry assay used to detect the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tumor tissues. PD-L1 is a protein that is expressed on the surface of cancer cells and can inhibit the immune response against the tumor. The SP142 test involves staining tumor tissue sections with a specific antibody against PD-L1. This antibody binds to PD-L1 protein if it is present on the tumor cells. The stained tissue sections are then examined under a microscope to determine the level of PD-L1 expression. The PD-L1 SP142 test is commonly used in clinical practice to guide treatment decisions for patients with certain types of cancer, such as non-small cell lung cancer and urothelial carcinoma. The test results can help identify patients who may benefit from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are drugs that block the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor on immune cells, allowing the immune system to attack the tumor. It is important to note that the PD-L1 SP142 test is just one of several assays available to assess PD-L1 expression. Different tests may use different antibodies and have different scoring systems, which can impact the interpretation of the results. Therefore, it is essential to follow the specific guidelines and recommendations provided by the test manufacturer and/or clinical guidelines when using the PD-L1 SP142 test in clinical practice.
