Abstract:
The immune checkpoint refers to a plethora of inhibitory pathways in the immune system.These pathways are crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and modulating the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses in peripheral tissues to minimize collateral tissue damage.Tumors use certain immune-check point pathways as a major mechanism of immune resistance.Recently,great clinical successes have been achieved in drugs targeting co-inhibitory signaling such as CTLA-4 and PD-1,which makes immunotherapy become the most notable research area.Therefore,the immune checkpoint block is a new promising trend in anti-tumor immunotherapy.
