Wide Expression and Significance of Alternative Immune Checkpoint Molecules, B7x and HHLA2, in PD-L1–Negative Human Lung Cancers

Abstract

Purpose: Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has changed the treatment landscape of non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We demonstrated that HHLA2, a newly identified immune inhibitory molecule, was widely expressed in NSCLC. We now compared the expression and function of PD-L1 with alternative immune checkpoints, B7x and HHLA2.
