immune checkpoint inhibitors

The normal immune system cells have proteins on their surfaces that serve as “off switches” or checkpoints that serve to prevent immune cells from attacking normally functioning cells of the body. Cancer cells have the ability to activate these switches, preventing immune cells attacking them.  Checkpoint inhibitors can block these switches allowing the immune cells to attack tumor cells.
