In the body, there is a type of white blood cell that watches out for signs of  contamination or disease and can also attack cancer cells. These white blood cells are called T cells. On the surface of these T cells are accurate proteins known as programmed cell death receptors (PD-1). So that T cells don’t destroy well , they use these surface proteins, or PD-1, to bind to and communicate with PD-L1 and PD-L2, proteins that permit cells to escape attack from the body’s immune system.

In other words, when the PD-1 protein on T cells comes in touch with PD-L1 and PD-L2 proteins, they are given the signal to allow that cell to live and permeation.
