Antibodies targeting immune checkpoint cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) have been broadly applied in the clinic and have yielded promising results as immunotherapy for diseases such as late-stage metastatic melanoma and nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [3–8]. Here, CD274 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
