Abstract:

Tumours are closely related to the immune system, and they can escape immune surveillance by stimulating immune inhibitory receptors, which can be blocked by the inhibitory receptors on the T cell. A potential strategy for anti-tumour immune therapy can be developed based on the abovementioned fact. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a newly identified negative co-stimulatory pathway that promotes immune escape. This review discusses the biological characteristics and functions of PD-1/PD-L1, as well as the application of PD-1/PD-L1 antibody in tumour therapy.

Key words: head and neck squamous carcinoma, programmed death receptor, programmed death ligand, immune checkpoint, immune escape
