Programmed Cell Death Protein Ligand 2 Is a Potential Biomarker That Predicts the Efficacy of Immunotherapy

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responses vary, and biomarkers for predicting responders are urgently needed. Growing evidence points to the association between programmed cell death protein ligand 2 (PDL2) and ICI benefits, while clinical evidences were lacking. Thus, we consolidated five public...
