  • CD279 is usually expressed on activated lymphocytes and is further upregulated on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
  • PD-1 can inhibit the excessive activation and proliferation of T cells by binding to the highly expressed ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 on tumor cells and antigen-presenting cells, exerting a negative immune regulatory effect and mediating immune evasion of tumors. .
  • anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have been approved for the treatment of various tumors (such as classic Hodgkin lymphoma, squamous or non-squamous NSCLC, hepatocellular carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, etc.), however, the currently approved indications for anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies are mostly in certain tumor types that are sensitive to immunotherapy, and monotherapy can achieve objective response to most tumor types.
