A potential new pathway for PD-L1 costimulation of the CD8-T cell response to Listeria monocytogenes infection.

Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is an important negative regulator of T cell immune responses via interactions with PD-1 and CD80. However, PD-L1 can also act as a positive costimulator, but the relevant counterreceptor is not known. We analyzed the role of PD-L1 in CD8-T cell responses to infecti...
