The armamentarium for lung cancer immunotherapy has been strengthened using two groups of monoclonal antibodies: 1) anti-PD-1 antibodies, including pembrolizumab and nivolumab, which block the programmed death 1 receptor on the lymphocyte surface, resulting in increasing activity of these cells, and 2) anti-PD-L1 antibodies, including atezolizumab, durvalumab, and avelumab, which block the ligand for the PD-1 molecule on tumor cells and on tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Here, CD274 is linked to lung carcinoma.
