While much is known about the factors that promote the development of diverse Treg cell responses, less is known about the pathways that constrain Treg cell activities. The studies presented here reveal that at homeostasis there is a population of effector Treg cells that express PD-1, and that blockade of PD-L1 or loss of PD-1 results in increased Treg cell activity. In response to infection with the parasite T. gondii, the early production of IFN-{gamma} results in widespread upregulation of PD-L1. Moreover, blockade of PD-L1, whole body deletion of PD-1, or lineage-specific deletion of PD-1 in Foxp3+ cells prevented the loss of the effector Treg cells but resulted in reduced pathogen specific CD4+ T cell responses during infection. Thus, at homeostasis basal PD-L1 expression constrains and tunes the pool of Treg cells, but during infection the upregulation of PD-L1 provides a mechanism to contract the Treg cell population required to maximize the development of pathogen specific CD4+ T cell responses.
