Table 1:
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 |
