CD80 Expressed by CD8+ T Cells Contributes to PD-L1-Induced Apoptosis of Activated CD8+ T Cells

Figure 3

CD80-KO CD8+ T cells survive better than WT CD8+ T cells when cultured with PD-L1/Fc. ConA-activated WT and CD80-KO CD8+ cells were cultured with anti-CD3 and either recombinant mouse PD-L1/Fc or control/Fc for 48 hours, then harvested for analysis. Live cells were counted by Trypan blue exclusion (, ±SD, ).
