Notably, in the absence of host- and tumor-derived IDO1 this effect was abrogated and there was no significant upregulation of PD-1 on CD8+ TIL at the same time point (Day 48) in IE9mp1-EV tumor-bearing IDOKO mice, indicating that regardless of the cellular source of IDO1 expression, presence of IDO1 enzyme activity contributes to PD-1 upregulation on ovarian CD8+ TIL. This evidence concerns the gene IDO1 and neoplasm.
