Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCo-Inhibitory Molecule Programmed Death-1 and its Ligands: A New Alternative Therapy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection?A. Leon-Flores, P. Del Rio, G. Reyes-TeranChronic viral infections are characterized by the up-regulation of a set of immunomodulatory receptors. The over-expression of co-inhibitory molecules on T cells leads to a dysfunctional T cell response with an "exhausted" phenotype. Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a molecule that exerts an inhibitory signal on the T cell receptor when it binds to the PD-L1 or PD-L2 ligands present on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
