Introduction Cancers may escape immune surveillance and eradication through the expression of programmed death-
ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment. PD-L1 expression has been reported in
various cell populations within the tumor, and its expression associated with prognosis for various tumors.
Further, clinical studies have shown that this pathway is an important target for immunotherapy and PD-L1
expression on tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment has been associated with enhanced response.
Understanding the complex biological function of the PD-L1 pathway, not only on tumor cells but also within
the tumor microenvironment requires simultaneous interrogation of multiple biomarkers, ranging from cancer
immunology checkpoint markers, tumor infiltrating immune cell markers, and tumor specific markers, etc.
Multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) allows simultaneous detection of multiple markers to explore the
cellular composition of immune/stromal/cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Development of a
multiplex IHC assay remains challenging due to antibody species similarity and cross reactivity, stability of
fluorophores through multiple rounds of processing, balancing high and low signals and measurement of
weakly expressed markers. We present here the development of a fully automated multiplex IHC assay (PD-
L1, CD3, CD8, CD68 and FoxP3) using rabbit primary antibodies with a heat deactivation (HD) process
between each antigen staining cycles on the BenchMark ULTRA automated slide stainer.
Automated PD-L1 5Plex Fluorescence (FL) IHC Sequential Detection Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5
The staining was automated on BenchMark ULTRA automated slide stainer with total run time of ~10 hours for up to 30 slides.
HD is Effective to Prevent Cross-reactivity (tested on 3 NSCLC and 3 UBC specimens)
• Each Ab(+) ctrl slide was stained with the tested 1°Ab at 1X[ ], GaR-HRP and the TSA-fluor at the respective cycle, while
the other cycles used diluents to replace 1°Abs, GaR-HRP and TSA-fluors.
• Each HD slide was stained with the tested 1°Ab at 2X[ ], GaR-HRP, and TSA diluent at the respective cycle, followed with
1°Ab diluent, GaR-HRP and the TSA-fluor at each of subsequent cycles.
• Diluents were used in prior cycle(s) when evaluating HD on CD3, CD68, FoxP3 and PD-L1 Ab complex.
• HD on PD-L1 Ab complex (last cycle) was evaluated with FAM.

PD-L1 5Plex FL IHC Assay is Reproducible

PD-L1 5Plex FL Staining (Decomposited Single-Channel Images)
Comparable to Single DAB Staining in a NSCLC Case
Conclusion Automated PD-L1 5Plex FL assay was developed using 5 rabbit 1°Ab for NSCLC and UBC specimens on
BenchMark Ultra instruments.
• The PD-L1 5Plex FL assay staining performance is reproducible, as no significant difference of staining
was observed across 3 instruments and 3 non-consecutive days.
• The PD-L1 5Plex FL assay staining has high agreement to that by single DAB staining.
• This automated PD-L1 5-Plex IHC assay could be utilized as a reliable and reproducible tool to further
characterize tumor and the tumor microenvironment. This could be used to gain a better understanding of
which patients may benefit most from immunotherapies.

• Duplicate slides of 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 3 urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) specimens were stained on 3 BenchMark Ultra instruments in 3 non-consecutive days.
• Each dot represents the average mode of intensity from 10 ROIs that were randomly selected from a region that is present across the sections of the same specimen.
• General linear model (GLM) analysis was used to perform analysis of variance upon the two factors – instruments and run (duplicate slides within an instrument).
• Intra-class correlation (ICC) was used to evaluate instrument reproducibility
