Activation and lineage specific Lag3 expression dynamics in T cells

Co-inhibitory receptors are essential checkpoints to restrain excessive T cell activation. While PD1 and CTLA4 have been extensively studied, the biology of lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag3), an emerging target for checkpoint blockade immunotherapy, remains less understood. In this study, we show that Lag3, though largely intracellular in resting T cells, exhibits unexpected dynamic cycling even without stimulation. The Lag3 cycling are influenced by lineage and differentiation status, particu
