Figures & data
Notes: PD1 is expressed by T cells. PDL1 is expressed in tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Combination of PD1 and PDL1/PDL2 contributes to the suppression of T-cell function. Inhibiting the interaction of PD1 and its ligands can significantly enhance T-cell function, resulting in antitumor activity.
