Surprisingly, however, in the five melanoma cell lines (LOX-IMVI, M19-MEL, MALME-3 M, UACC-62, UACC-257) demonstrating a distinct IFN-ɣ-induced PD-L1 upregulation in our immunoblot analyses, a reduction of p53 protein levels was accompanied by a decreased IFN-ɣ-inducible PD-L1 expression. The gene discussed is IFNA1; the disease is melanoma.
