Article Title: | Genotyping natural killer immune checkpoints to discover biomarkers of response |
Abstract: | Immune checkpoints have been a focus of immunotherapy in the recent decade. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their cognate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands have evolved as checkpoints to ensure self-tolerance of natural killer cells. Both KIR and HLA genetic profiles are potential biomarkers of immunotherapy outcome. © 2017 AACR. |
