B7-DC Variants in the Stimulation of Immune Responses

Unmet NeedUnfortunately, many human tumor cells have evolved ways of deactivating the body’s immune system by expressing inhibitory signals (e.g., PD-L1, CTLA-4) on tumor cell surfaces. As a consequence, there is a pressing need for novel immunotherapies that would allow immune cells to bypass specific inhibitory signals on tumor cells and carry out...
