Abstract

• Using the LRC-TriCEPS platform  PSGL-1  was identified as the interaction partner of the co-inhibitor Vista on activated primary T-cells as at acidic pH mimicking the acidic tumour environment
• Now, Vista tumour immunotherapy can rationally move  forward
• The results also suggest to use also acidity as therapeutic target for tumour therapy
• Now also other interactions at acidic pH for drug candidates or co-inhibitor interactions should be tested on primary T-cells. It could explain why some drug candidates are not successful in later development.
