The effect of PD-L1 blockade on the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells against glioma cells.
Cell lines (U87 and U251) were treated with RT (5 Gy), PD-L1 Ab (20 μg/mL), RT + PD-L1 Ab, AG490 (10 μM), RT + AG490, or RT + AG490 + PD-L1 Ab, and then co-cultured with CD8+ T cells. At 48 h, tumor cell apoptosis was evaluated by FCM. Representative images and quantitative data are shown. Each column is shown as the means of three separate experiments; bars, SD. Student's t-test; ***P < 0.001. ANOVA; ns, nonsignificant.
