Several immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays have been developed to assess tumor programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels in patients who are candidates for programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. The PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx kit is FDA-approved as a complementary diagnostic and CE-marked as an in vitro diagnostic device for nivolumab therapy in melanoma and specific lung cancer subtypes (and for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck/urothelial carcinoma in Europe only). Kit availability is limited outside the United States, and its use requires the Dako Autostainer Link 48 platform, which is unavailable in many laboratories.

Phagocytosis and macropinocytosis are Ras-regulated and actin-driven processes that depend on the dynamic rearrangements of the plasma membrane that protrudes and internalizes extracellular material by cup-shaped structures. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying actin assembly in large-scale endocytosis remain elusive. Here, we show that the Diaphanous-related formin G (ForG) from the professional phagocyte Dictyostelium discoideum localizes to endocytic cups.
