Abstract:V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA/PD-1H) is a B7 family member highly expressed on circulating and intra-tumoral myeloid cells. It is a negative checkpoint inhibitor that inhibits anti-tumor T cell response. In patients, VISTA is associated with poor overall survival in multiple tumor indications and is also a potential mediator of resistance to anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1 therapies. Therefore, VISTA is a unique target for cancer immunotherapy.
