Upregulation of Tim-3 and PD-1 expression is associated with tumor antigen–specific CD8+ T cell dysfunction in melanoma patients

TL;DR: These findings support the use of Tim-3–Tim-3L blockade together with PD-1–PD-L1 blockade to reverse tumor-induced T cell exhaustion/dysfunction in patients with advanced melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

TIGIT and PD-1 impair tumor antigen–specific CD8 + T cells in melanoma patients

TL;DR: The results show that TIGIT and PD-1 regulate the expansion and function of TA-specific CD8⁺ T cells and CD8¹ TILs in melanoma patients and suggest that dual TIGit andPD-1 blockade should be further explored to elicit potent antitumor CD8 ™ T cell responses in patients with advanced melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD8+ T Cells Specific for Tumor Antigens Can Be Rendered Dysfunctional by the Tumor Microenvironment through Upregulation of the Inhibitory Receptors BTLA and PD-1

TL;DR: These findings indicate that targeting BTLA along with the PD-1 and Tim-3 pathways is critical to reverse an important mechanism of immune escape in patients with advanced melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

PD-1 Is a Regulator of NY-ESO-1-Specific CD8+ T Cell Expansion in Melanoma Patients

TL;DR: The findings support the role of PD-1 as a regulator of NY-ESO-1-specific CD8+ T cell expansion in the context of chronic Ag stimulation and support the use ofPD-1/PD-L1 pathway blockade in cancer patients to partially restore NY- ESO- 1-specific T cell numbers and functions, increasing the likelihood of tumor regression.
