Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The interaction of the T-cell molecule PD-1 (programmed death-1) with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 represents a known mechanism of T-cell inhibition. PD-1 is homologous to CD28 while the PD-1 ligands share homology with the B7 family of co-stimulatory molecules. METHODS: We have studied surface expression and transcript levels of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on murine renal tubular epithelial cells (TEC) by flow cytometric analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
