Block the CTLA-4 molecule: 1) Turn on “ignition” – antigen presenting cell; 2) Step on gas by binding T Cell’ molecule with antigen molecule; 3) Hit brakes – CTLA-4; 4) Relase brakes — use Checkpoint inhibitors to release our body’s foot solders (T cells)… 5) Activated T Cell is now primed to see antigen on tumor cell and attack it.
