Research Article: TIGIT regulates CD4+ T cell immunity against polymicrobial sepsis
Abstract:
Background: Sepsis is one of the major causes of death and increased health care burden in modern intensive care units. Immune checkpoints have been prompted to be key modulators of T cell activation, T cell tolerance and T cell exhaustion. This study was designed to investigate the role of the negative immune checkpoint, T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT), in the early stage of sepsis.
