Here, we show that PD-1 blockade increases tumor-Tregs in mouse models of melanoma and metastatic melanoma patients.

CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells produce IL-2 and colocalize with Tregs in mouse and human melanomas. IL-2 upregulates the anti-apoptotic protein ICOS on tumor-Tregs, promoting their accumulation.
