Structure of human ferritin light subunit messenger RNA: comparison with heavy subunit message and functional implications.

abstract：:T cell activation and tolerance are regulated by costimulatory molecules. Although PD-1 serves as a crucial negative regulator of T cells, the function of its ligands, PDL1 and PDL2, is still controversial. In this study, we created a PDL2-deficient mouse to characterize its function in T cell activation and tolerance...
