The programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and its ligands (PD-L 1 and 2) suppress immune responses, thus promoting self-tolerance. Among the immunomodulatory cells, acting through the PD-1 pathway, are the B-regulatory cells (Bregs). The role of the PD-1 pathway in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) has not been adequately studied.
