Description |
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) unleash the immune system by blocking signals that turn off the immune system. Without those signals, immune cells become activated against cells they would otherwise identify as 'self.' The intended target is cancer cells, but activation against healthy cells results in adverse autoimmune reactions. |
