Cancer immunity cycle
T cell activation is regulated by stimulatory and inhibitory signals that fine-tune the response and maintain the balance between appropriate recognition and destruction of tumors and inappropriate overstimulation of immune responses.Please see the table for a list of targets that regulate T cell activation.
T cell is inhibited when:Co-inhibitors of T cell are bound to their receptors on APC.
Through these interactions the immune system is regulated to minimize autoimmune inflammation.
Regulators of T cell activation*
Blocking PD-L1 with a monoclonal antibody interferes with T cell inhibition and active immune response leads to tumor cell death.
T cell is activated when:T-cell receptor recognizes an antigen on the surfaceof the antigen presenting cell (APC).
Co-stimulatory interaction occurs between T cell and APC.
Cancer immunotherapy strategies involve blocking of key immune checkpoint inhibitors
to ensure immune responses remain effective against cancer. Immunotherapies against PD-L1
and PD-1 reveal promising results against some cancer types.
PD-1/PD-L1 interaction reduces cytokine production and suppresses T cell proliferation. Tumor cells exploit this immune checkpoint pathway as a mechanism to evade detection and inhibit the immune response. This leads to cancer progression.
