Dublin, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Opdivo" drug pipelines has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Opdivo (nivolumab; Bristol-Myers Squibb/Ono Pharmaceutical) is a fully human immunoglobulin G4 PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor that binds to the checkpoint receptor PD-1 expressed on activated T-cells. PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, are members of the cluster of differentiation 28 and B7 family.
The B7 family cell surface molecules and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 family both regulate complex signaling pathways that affect T-cell activation, tolerance, and immunopathology. Blocking the interaction of the PD-1 receptor with its ligands may allow T cells to restore an anti-tumor immune response.
