But genes in other regions are so close together they overlap: the cluster of 75 genes which determines tissue type and plays a part in controlling our immune responses is packed into only 4 million base pairs. (newscientist.com)
His research has identified the major pathways that control the immune response by inhibiting T - cell activation (PD - 1 / PD - L1 and B7 - 2 / CTLA - 4) or stimulating T - cell activation (B7 - 2 / CD28). (sciencemag.org)
Some adjuvant immunotherapies use ligands — molecules that bind to proteins such as receptors — to help control the immune response. (cancerresearch.org)
