Checkpoint blocking antibodies in cancer immunotherapy.
Cancers can be recognized by the immune system, and the immune system may regulate and even eliminate tumors. The development of checkpoint blocking antibodies, such as those directed against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 receptor (PD-1), have demonstrated significant recent promise in the treatment of an expanding list of malignancies. While both CTLA-4 and P...
متن کاملHow Can the Microenvironment Impair Cancer Immunotherapy? Monoclonal Antibodies and Novel Checkpoint Inhibitors for Cancer Immunotherapy
A plenty of studies have investigated the immune system of cancer patients and they suffer from a large immunosuppression mainly due to decrease of lymphocyte proliferation and cytotoxic activity. Several efforts have been made in developing drugs or strategies to improve the treatment of cancer patients. Cancer immunotherapy is one of the best strategy to restore the immune system of cancer pa...
متن کاملStructural basis of checkpoint blockade by monoclonal antibodies in cancer immunotherapy
Cancer cells express tumour-specific antigens derived via genetic and epigenetic alterations, which may be targeted by T-cell-mediated immune responses. However, cancer cells can avoid immune surveillance by suppressing immunity through activation of specific inhibitory signalling pathways, referred to as immune checkpoints. In recent years, the blockade of checkpoint molecules such as PD-1, PD...
متن کاملCancer immunotherapy beyond immune checkpoint inhibitors
Malignant cells have the capacity to rapidly grow exponentially and spread in part by suppressing, evading, and exploiting the host immune system. Immunotherapy is a form of oncologic treatment directed towards enhancing the host immune system against cancer. In recent years, manipulation of immune checkpoints or pathways has emerged as an important and effective form of immunotherapy. Agents t...
