Figures & data

Figure 1. TIGIT as a co-inhibitory receptor that critically limits anti-tumor and other CD8+ T cell-dependent chronic immune responses. TIGIT competes with CD226 for binding the receptor PVR, and disrupts CD226 dimerization in cis at the cell surface. TIGIT collaborates with PD1 to limit chronic CD8+ T cell responses, and anti-antibody co-blockade of TIGIT and PD-L1 enhance CD8+ T cell effector function, resulting in enhanced tumor and chronic viral clearance.
