1. Azuma, T. et al: B7-H1 is a ubiquitous antiapoptotic receptor on cancer cells, Blood 111:3635 (2008).
Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PDL1) is also known as B7-H, B7H1, MGC142294, MGC142296, PD-L1, PDCD1L1 and PDCD1LG1,which is a member of the growing B7 family of immune molecules and is involved in the regulation of cellular and humoral immune responses. Mature mouse B7-H1 consists of a 221 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two immunoglobulin-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 30 aa cytoplasmic domain. B7-H1 is expressed on inflammatory-activated immune cells including macrophages, T cells, and B cells, keratinocytes, endothelial and intestinal epithelial cells, as well as a variety of carcinomas and melanoma. B7-H1 binds to T cell B7-1/CD80 and PD-1. It suppresses T cell activation and proliferation and induces the apoptosis of activated T cells.
