Abstract
We investigated the correlation between PD-L1 expression and poor prognosis. We examined the correlation between PD-L1 expression and survival of penile SqCC and analyzed the adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of the patients with PD-L1 expression compared to anatomical stage of the tumor.
Materials
-MD21R clone (Medaysis CA)
-Rabbit PD-L1 antibody
-DAB mixture
-Hematoxylin
PD-L1 Antibody Preparation
PD-L1 Antibody Preparation
Reagent used to stain PD-L1 in this IHC staining was MD21R clone (Medaysis CA), ready to use (rabbit PD-L1 antibody)

PD-L1 antibody is diluted with ratio 1 uL PD-L1: 100 uL IHC diluent and then mixed for 5 minutes.

Pretreatment
Pretreatment
Pretreatment was done with EDTA pH8.0, 15 minutes using a Pressure Cooker

Duration00:15:00 Pressure cooker
OR

Duration01:00:00 30 – 60 minutes using a water bath Temperature95 °C to Temperature99 °C

1h 15m
Deparaffination and rehydration were done by using Bond Dewax Solution for 3 times, alcohol for 3 times, and Bond Wash Solution for 3 times.

We retrieved the antigen by using Bond Epitope Retrieval Solution I for 4 times
PD-L1 and Sample Mixing and Detection
PD-L1 and Sample Mixing and Detection
We mixed the solution with PD-L1 (Medaysis) primary antibody for 1 hour.
1h
The detection was done by using post primary procedure for 8 minutes, Bond Wash Solution for two times, and polymer for eight minutes. We used DAB mixture for staining and hematoxylin for counterstaining.

Duration00:08:00 post primary procedure
Bond Wash Solution Two times
Duration00:08:00 polymer

Analysis
Analysis
PD-LI expression was assessed on cytoplasm and/or tumor cell membranes and TILs. The positive control used was the placenta.
PD-LI expression is considered positive if it has a score of +2 or +3 and is considered negative if it has a score of +1 and 0. Intensity measurement then given a score of 0-3 (0= none; 1= weak; 2= moderate; and 3= strong).
The percentage of stained cells was assessed on a scale of 0-100%.
Percentage of stained tumor cells A= percentage of tumor cells intensity in 3+ {3 x (%Cells 3+)}, B= percentage of tumor cells intensity in 2+ {2 x (%Cells 2+)}, C= percentage of tumor cells intensity in 1+ {1 x (%Cells 1+)}
Semi-quantitative assessment refers to research by Chovanec et al. who used histoscore (H-score)

H-Score = {1 x (%cells 1+) + 2x (%cells 2+) + 3x (%cells 3+)}
Total value obtained ranges from 0 to 300, thus PD-L1 expression is categorized into “1” for negative (0 – 99) and “2” for positive (100 – 300).
