A new era in cancer treatment is emerging with the use of antibodies directed against immune checkpoint proteins, known as “checkpoint inhibitors”. A novel concept of “magic bullets”, concepted by Paul Ehrlich at the beginning of the last century, as being capable of acting directly on the destruction of tumor targets, is now represented by antibodies directed against molecules which block the antitumor activity of the immune system, such as Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1). These new immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment of different cancer types. Studies on CTLA-4, PD-1, and their ligands in antigen presenting cells are discussed in this review. The importance of tumor antige...
