We found that the distribution of PD-L1 in glioma coincides with morphologically apoptotic T cells and that IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression on primary cultured microglia, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), and GL261 tumor cells, suggesting IFN-γ derived from tumor-infiltrating T cells may be the lead to induced PD-L1 expression in the microenvironment. This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and neoplasm.
