PDCD1 expression increases at elevated temperatures
2025-05-27
Abstract excerpt
PDCD1 (Programmed cell death protein 1) is an immune checkpoint that inhibits the excessive response of antigen-activated T cells to prevent autoimmune tissue damage. In chronic infections or cancers, lasting antigen exposure leads to permanent PDCD1 expression that can limit immune-mediated clearance of pathogens or degenerated cells. Consequently, blocking PDCD1 can enhance T cell function, which is the basis of...
