Campylobacter concisus upregulates PD-L1 mRNA expression in IFN-γ sensitized intestinal epithelial cells and induces cell death in esophageal epithelial cells
Introduction: Campylobacter concisus is an oral bacterium that is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is an immune checkpoint protein that is used by tumor cells for immune evasion and has increased expression in patie...
