The presence of an immunosuppressive microenvironment can limit the full potential of
adoptive T cell immunotherapy. However, specific blockade of the PD-1 immunosuppressive
pathway can significantly enhance the function of gene-modified T cells expressing a
chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) leading to enhanced tumor eradication.
