PD-1 in hippocampal neurons regulates excitability, synaptic plasticity, and cognition
2021-07-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) demonstrated improved survival in cancer patients through immune activation. Here we show that functional PD-1 is expressed in mouse and primate hippocampal neurons and PD-1 inhibition improves cognition in physiological and pathological conditions. Mice lacking the Pdcd1 gene encoding PD-1 exhibit enhanced...
