Figure 1 Protection of CTLA4-Ig/PD-L1 Knockin hESCs from Immune Rejection Parental hECS are rejected by human T cells in mice with a reconstituted human immune system (top). In contrast, hESC that constitutively express CTLA4-Ig and PD-L1, and differentiated cells derived from these engineered hESCs, escape rejection by creating a local immunosuppressive environment (bottom).
