Memory phenotype T cells, found in unimmunized mice, display phenotypic and functional traits of memory cells and provide essential protection against infections, playing a role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Mechanisms governing homeostasis of these memory phenotype T cells remain ill-defined. In this study, we reveal a crucial role of the negative costimulator programmed death-1 (PD-1) in...
