T and NK cells destructive effect on cancer cells is regulated even by TAMs, by increasing the number of active NKs, upregulating inhibitory T cell receptors programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and Cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), releasing factors such as TRAIL and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells (25, 26). The gene discussed is PDCD1; the disease is cancer.
