Immune checkpoint inhibitors

Monoclonal antibodies have been developed to target immune checkpoints.

PD-1 inhibitors

These antibodies target the Programmed Cell Death 1 Receptor (PD-1 Receptor). Programmed Cell Death Type I is also known as apoptosis. The PD-1 Receptor is "an inhibitory T-lymphocyte receptor that has specificity for CD274 antigen and Programmed Cell Death 1 Ligand 2 Protein."[1][2]

Pembrolizumab was approved by the FDA for “patients with unresectable or metastatic, microsatellite-instability–high (MSI-H) or mismatch-repair–deficient (dMMR) solid tumors, regardless of tumor site or histology”. [3]

Examples:

PD-L1 inhibitors

CTLA-4 blockade

The CTLA-4 Antigen is "an inhibitory T cell receptor that is closely related to CD28 antigen. It has specificity for CD80 antigen and CD86 antigen and acts as a negative regulator of peripheral T cell function. CTLA-4 antigen is believed to play role in inducing peripheral tolerance."[4]
