Re-evaluation of PD-1 expression by T cells as a marker for immune exhaustion during SIV infection.

PD-1 expression is generally associated with exhaustion of T cells during chronic viral infections based on the finding that PD-1 expressing cells respond poorly to antigen activation and blockade of PD-1/PD-ligand interaction restores such antigen specific responses in vitro. We tested this hypothe...
