LAG-3 is the third immune checkpoint pathway successfully targeted for cancer therapy. Although ineffective as a monotherapy, combination of LAG-3 and PD-1 blockade improves survival from advanced melanoma. In this issue of Cell, two studies in mice and a human clinical trial provide insights on LAG-3 in immune regulation.
LAG-3 是第三个成功针对癌症治疗的免疫检查点通路。尽管作为单一疗法无效,但 LAG-3 和 PD-1 阻断的联合治疗可改善晚期黑色素瘤的生存。在本期《Cell》中,两项小鼠研究和一项人类临床试验提供了 LAG-3 在免疫调节中的见解。
