Popis: Sasikumar et al. describe the identification and characterization of CA-170, a small molecule inhibitor of PD-L1 and VISTA. They find that CA-170 activates T cells and exhibits anti-tumor efficacy in mouse models. This study highlights the potential of CA-170, which has advanced to human clinical trials, as an anti-cancer drug.
