Role of Immune Checkpoint Proteins in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

2017-08-08

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrotic lung disease, with unknown etiopathogenesis and suboptimal therapeutic options. Due to the lack of clinical efficacy of standard immuno-suppressants in IPF, the role of the immune response in this disease remains elusive.
