<b>Preferred specimen (FFPE block):</b><br>
A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block is the preferred specimen type. Use 10% NBF fixative; do not use zinc or mercury fixatives.<br>
<b>If submitting slides (instead of a block):</b><br>
Submit the following. All slides cut at 4–5 microns. Please use positively-charged slides and 10% NBF fixative.<br>
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">H&E slide: One (1) unbaked, unstained slide for H&E staining (required)</span><br>
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">Cut Slides: Two (2) positively charged unstained slides for each IHC test/antibody ordered</span><br>
<b>PD-L1 LDT evaluation:</b><br>
Tissue submitted must have >100 viable tumor cells present.<br>
<b>Specimen identification:</b><br>
Block and slide identifiers should be clearly written and match exactly with the specimen ID and specimen labeling as noted on the requisition.

Orderable Test Description
<p>Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a transmembrane protein involved in cellular and humoral immune response regulation. PD-L1 expression has been found in a variety of cancers expressed on tumor and/or immune cells. This lab developed test uses the Zeta PD-L1 monoclonal antibody clone ZR3 to detect PD-L1 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. The utility of PD-L1 (ZR3) in predicting the response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 has not been determined and no standardized scoring criteria currently exist. For therapies and indications that have an FDA-approved PD-L1 companion diagnostic, it is recommended to use the associated FDA approved PD-L1 test. Scoring for this test is called Total PD-L1 Expression and is calculated by dividing the sum of the number of staining tumor cells and inflammatory cells by the total number of viable tumor cells.</p>
