Immunotherapy Screening - GITR:GITRL pathway
In previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1 : CD28, B7-1 : CTLA4, the BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα , and the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway for immunotherapy screenings and discussed

Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - screening for inhibitors?
Caspases (cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) belong to the family of cysteine proteases and are involved in networks controlling cell death (apoptosis and necrosis) and inflammation.
Modulating or inhibiting Caspase activities
In a previous post, I discussed Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - how to screen for inhibitors?
Today I would like to concentrate on Caspase inhibitors/modulators, which allow for in-depth characterisation
9 pathway-specific screening assays in Immunotherapy
Ion channel over expressing cell lines for inhibitory screening
In a recent post on  Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize

Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer cells to evade
Immunotherapy Screening – OX40:OX40L pathway
The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy. T-cell activation and inactivation requires the coordination of various co-inhibitory
