Understanding PD-1

What it means: PD-1 is an immune checkpoint receptor on T cells. When bound by PD-L1, it suppresses T cell activity, allowing cancer to evade immune attack.
Why it matters: Anti-PD-1 antibodies (pembrolizumab, nivolumab) block this interaction, reactivating T cells to attack tumors. Used across many cancer types.
Testing: PD-1 status is typically assessed via PD-L1 expression testing on tumor tissue (IHC). PD-L1 levels help predict response.
