Small molecule-based PD-1 pathway blockade for Human cancer therapy: SMG7, a protein known to play a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, inhibits the expression of co-inhibitory receptor PD-1 on Antigen- Specific T-cells, increases the production of cytokines by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), and draining lymph nodes and augments anti-tumor activity via down-regulation of its target gene, 18/December/2016, 10.29 pm
