Immune System Modulation (T-cell Inhibition)

Molecular classification
Receptor, Cytokine, Immunoglobulin superfamily
01

Overview

Immune system modulation via T-cell inhibition refers to the regulation of T cell activation, differentiation, and function through inhibitory pathways. These mechanisms are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity but can also limit effective immune responses against pathogens and tumors. Key molecules include CTLA-4, PD-1, LAG-3, TIM-3, and suppressive cytokines like IL-10 and TGFβ. Therapeutic manipulation of these pathways, particularly through checkpoint inhibitors, has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, blocking these checkpoints increases the risk of immune-related adverse events.
