Loss of programmed death ligand-1 expression on donor T cells lessens acute graft-versus-host disease lethality

The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays an important role in regulation of alloimmune responses and in induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Because GVHD is driven by donor T cells and PD-L1 expression can be markedly elevated on T cells during activation, we investigated the functional significan...
