Optimization of CTLA-4 and pd-1 proteins in EMT6 mouse mammary cancer cells by Western blot

Targeting the activation of immune checkpoints is recognized as an effective strategy for triggering anti-tumour immune responses in cancer cells. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) were identified as potential crucial targets for cancer t...
