Soluble CTLA-4 – A confounding factor in CTLA-4 based checkpoint immunotherapy in cancer

Abstract

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a receptor that inhibits the activity of T cells. The CTLA-4 gene consists of four different exons that enable four different isoforms of CTLA-4 to be generated through alternative splicing. Although sCTLA-4 might impede the therapeutic effect of anti-CTLA-4 treatments, the role of sCTLA-4 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is not well understood. Here, we provide novel perspectives on the inhibitory characteristics of sCTLA-4 in TME.
