Explaination from the client: long-term antigen means a kind of antigen which exists for a long time

Besides being capable of enhancing the immunoreaction to long-term antigens, blocking the pathway of PD-1/PDL1 was also discovered to be able to enhance response to vaccines, including response to a therapeutic vaccine in long-term infection.
Long-term antigen stimulation, e.g., in tumor or long-term infection, will cause T cells to express high level of PD-1, gradually lose activities in response to these long-term antigens, and eventually become nonfunctional, namely, the so-called T cell exhaustion.
