Abstract
PD-1 engagement on the surface of effector T cells strongly suppresses their cytotoxic function, which constitutes a major obstacle for T cell-mediated anti-tumor activities. Surprisingly, PD-1 is strongly upregulated in T cells, engaging its ligand PD-L1 during antigen presentation. However, our recent published data may provide an explanation for this apparent contradiction.Entities:
