PD-L1 Co-Stimulation Contributes to Ligand-Induced T Cell Receptor Down-Modulation on \(CD8^+\) T Cells [PDF]
T cell receptor (TCR) down-modulation after antigen presentation is a fundamental process that regulates TCR signal transduction. Current understanding of this process is that intrinsic TCR/CD28 signal transduction leads to TCR down-modulation.

Programmed Death-1 and Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression Patterns in Pediatric Lymphoma
Abstract Introduction The programmed death-1 (PD-1)-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway is an inhibitory immune checkpoint that can suppress T-cell-mediated tumor cytotoxicity. Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have recently been recognized as promising therapy for adult patients with lymphoma, particularly in ...

Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...
