| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using cells derived from patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia; AML, we examined Treg cells and immune effects on leukemia by FCM and NGS assays.
Tumor cells use immune-checkpoint pathways to evade the host immune system and suppress immune cell function. These cells express programmed cell-death protein 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-L2, which bind to the programmed cell-death protein 1 (PD-1) present on cytotoxic T cells, trigger inhibitory signaling, and reduce cytotoxicity and T-cell exhaustion. Immune-checkpoint blockade can inhibit this signal and may serve as an effective therapeutic strategy in patients with solid tumors. Several trials have been conducted on immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with leukemia. We examine the biomarker during PD-1 antibody therapy.
