Tumor Cell Programmed Death Ligand 1-Mediated T Cell Suppression Is Overcome by Coexpression of CD80
10 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1, or B7-H1) is expressed constitutively or is induced by IFN-γ on the cell surface of most human cancer cells and acts as a "molecular shield" by protecting tumor cells from T cell-mediated destruction. Using seven cell lines representing four histologically distinct solid tumors (lung adenocarcinoma, mammary carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and uveal melanoma), we demonstrate that...
