In Situ Detection of Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 and Programmed Death Ligand 1 Interactions as a Functional Predictor for Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in NSCLC
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed lung cancer treatment, yet their effectiveness seem restricted to certain patient subsets. Current clinical stratification on the basis of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression offers limited predictive value. Given the mechanism of action, directly detecting spatial programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)–PD-L1 interactions m
