Inducible Expression of B7-H1 (PD-L1) and Its Selective Role in Tumor Site Immune Modulation
1 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Immune evasion is an important hallmark of cancer, and a better understanding of this mechanism is essential for the development of effective strategies against cancer. The B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1)/programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway has been demonstrated as a major mechanism of immune evasion in tumor site, and its blockade therapy shows very encouraging results in clinical trials. Inducible B7-H1 expression in...
