Summary of infiltrates of PD-1 expressing cells PD-L1 expression in renal allografts at day 6.

Compartment PD-1 cells PD-L1 expression*
Arteries (Arcuate / Interlobular) Prominent cuffs of PD-1+ cells surrounding arteries Weak on endothelium; negative on smooth muscle
Glomerular Capillaries Sporadic PD-1+ cells Strong
Peritubular Capillaries Diffuse interstitial infiltrate between capillaries and tubules Negative
Proximal & Distal Tubules Limited tubulitis that increases with PD-L1 blockade.** Strong on basal and lateral border
Cortical Collecting system Minor tubulitis that increases with PD-L1 blockade. Weak
