PD-1/PDL1 Blockade Exacerbates Pancreatic Damage and Immune Response in a Mouse Model of Acute Pancreatitis

Programmed necrosis factor 1 (PD-1) is significantly overexpressed in lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages and has been studied in depth in tumors. As a member of the negative costimulatory family of immune regulatory molecules, expression of PD-1 and its primary regulatory pathway are related to immune cells.
