For example, leukemia progression resulted in increased regulatory T (Treg) cells and PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) + CD8+ T cells at tumor sites in a mouse AML model, and PD-L1 inhibitor treatment could restore the proliferation and cytotoxic function of T cells at tumor sites, reduce AML tumor burden, and increase overall survival [23, 24]. Here, CD8A is linked to neoplasm.
