Cancer Treatment

The development of tumor therapy in cancer immunotherapy has been aided by programmed death receptor-1 and programmed death protein ligand inhibitors. Since its discovery in 1990, the programmed cell death protein 1 receptor (PD-1) receptor has been known to negatively regulate T-cell mediated immune response via i...

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADCs) is a new emerging class of highly potent pharmaceutical drugs, which is a great combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Over the past couple of decades, antibody-drug conjugates have revolutionized the field of cancer chemotherapy. ADCs are composed of 3 parts: an antibody drug...
