Single-cell transcriptomics reveal PD-1-loss-driven immune dysregulation of pulmonary lymphocytes during early Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Loss of PD-1 disturbed pulmonary lymphocyte homeostasis, characterized by abnormal regulatory T cell (Tregs) expansion, early exhaustion-like differentiation of cytotoxic T cells, and impaired maturation of memory B cells, which provides a transcriptional blueprint for PD-1-mediated immune balance, with implications fo...
