PDCD1 and neoplasm: 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.
