HAVCR2 and infection: As shown in Figure 8A, D, G, G. parasuis challenge promoted an increase in PD-L1 and TIM-3 mRNA expression and a decrease in PD-1 mRNA expression compared to those in the control group, while levamisole, BMS-1 and baicalin reduced PD-L1 and TIM-3 and upregulated PD-1 mRNA expression compared to those in the infection group (P < 0.001).
