What is the Role of Immunotherapy in Modulating the Immune Repertoire?
Immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell transfer, seeks to boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer by modulating the immune repertoire. Checkpoint inhibitors, for instance, release the brakes on the immune system, allowing T cells to proliferate and attack cancer cells vigorously. Adoptive cell transfer involves engineering T cells with specific receptors to target cancer cells more effectively.
