Blood and lymphatic vessels contribute to the immune landscape within a tissue by providing selective entry and exit routes, respectively. The work here investigates potential mecha-nisms by which peripheral lymphatic and blood vessel expression of the T cell inhibitory molecule PD-L1, regulate antitumor immunity. Here I test the hypothesis that PD-L1 expression by blood and lymphatic vasculature limits T cell accumulation in skin and tumors. 000007576 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007576 650__ $$aEndothelial Cells$$035222 000007576 650__ $$aMelanoma$$021989 000007576 650__ $$aImmunotherapy$$020724 000007576 650__ $$aTumor Microenvironment$$039473 000007576 6531_ $$atransmigration 000007576 6531_ $$alymphatic vessel 000007576 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007576 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000007576 7001_ $$aLane, Ryan S. 000007576 8564_ $$94e3fe7bc-116e-42ea-b640-858884eb6f4c$$s31518813$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7576/files/lane.ryan.2019.pdf 000007576 905__ $$a/rest/prod/z6/03/qx/96/z603qx96t 000007576 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7576$$pstudent-work 000007576 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
