Markers of T cell exhaustion and their ligands on different cell types [145,150,151,152].

Exhaustion Marker Expressed on T Cell Ligand Cells Expressing the Ligand Influence on Antitumor Functions of
T Cells
PD-1 PD-L1 Tumor cells, DCs, TAMs, Bregs Inhibitory
CTLA-4 CD80/CD86 DCs, B cells, TAMs, Treg Inhibitory
TIM3 Galectin 9 APC Both inhibitory and activating, but mostly inhibitory
LAG3 MHC-I or MHC-II–Peptide complex APC, tumor cells Both inhibitory and activating, but mostly inhibitory
TIGIT CD155 APC Inhibitory
Vista ? APC Largely remains to be elucidated
CD96 CD112 APC, tumor cells Largely remains to be elucidated
BTLA-4 HVEM T cells, Tregs, APCs, tumor cells Largely remains to be elucidated
CD160 HVEM T cells, Tregs, APCs, tumor cells Largely remains to be elucidated
