Cancerous cells inducing the checkpoint agent PD‐L1 repress T‐cell activity through interaction with the PD‐1 receptor.161 CTLA4+‐inducing CD8+ T‐cells likewise add to immunological resistance via tumors.162 Immune checkpoint blockade drugs, involving anti‐PD‐1, anti‐PD‐L1, and anti‐CTLA‐4 antibodies, can release antitumor immune responses and result in further tumor loss. The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is neoplasm.
