摘要
The programmed death 1 (PD-1) pathway is a way of inhibiting T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. This pathway is important for maintaining peripheral tolerance. Different mechanisms and cytokines are involved in this pathway. Herein, we show the contribution of endogenous TGF-β to increasing PD-1 expression after T cell receptor (TCR) activation.
