Dendritic cell PD-L2 restrains intratumoral CD8+ T cell immunity
Blockade of inhibitory PD-1 signaling on T cells is a cornerstone of cancer immunotherapy, with current strategies targeting PD-1 or its ligand PD-L1. However, PD-1 engages an alternative ligand, PD-L2, whose role in tumor immunity remains poorly defined. Here, we show that PD-L2 is upregulated on intratumoral CCR7+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) in both mouse and human melanoma. Using…
