Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Co-inhibitory receptor-ligand interactions fine-tune immune responses by negatively regulating T cell functions. Our aim is to examine the involvement of co-inhibitory receptor-ligand pair PD-1/PD-L1 in regulating rejection after liver transplantation (LT) in humans. METHODS: PD-L1/PD-1 expression in liver allograft was determined by immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry, and the effect of...
