Targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-1 "checkpoints" is an effective treatment for a number of cancers. In this issue of Immunity, Hui et al. reveal that interaction between a CTLA-4 ligand, CD80, and its counterpart in the PD-1 pathway, PD-L1, affects both PD-1 and CTLA-4 function, raising new questions about the biological effects of using checkpoint inhibitors alone and in combination.
针对 CTLA-4 和 PD-1“检查点”的靶向治疗是治疗多种癌症的有效方法。在本期《免疫》中,Hui 等人揭示了 CTLA-4 配体 CD80 与其 PD-1 通路对应物 PD-L1 之间的相互作用会影响 PD-1 和 CTLA-4 的功能,这就提出了关于单独和联合使用检查点抑制剂的生物学效应的新问题。
