Vaccination with Leishmania mexicana LPG induces PD-1 in CD8+ and PD-L2 in macrophages thereby suppressing the immune response: A model to assess vaccine efficacy [PDF]
Leishmania lipophosphoglycan is a molecule that has been used as a vaccine candidate, with contradictory results. Since unsuccessful protection could be related to suppressed T cell responses, we analyzed the expression of inhibitory receptor PD-1 in CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytes and it is ligand PD-L2 in macrophages of BALB/c mice immunized with various ...
