Abstract:
The regulation of immune checkpoint is a pivotal mechanism mediating both self-tolerance physiologically and tumor immune evasion pathologically. Along with an increasing number of identified checkpoint ligand-receptor pairs, the complexity of regulation at genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels makes it highly challenging to assemble a comprehensive regulatory network. Advanced animal models are required for determining the exact regulatory effects, given the differences in human and mouse immune systems. Our further understanding on checkpoint regulation may energize translational studies aimed to improve cancer immunotherapy, and collaborations between researchers with different expertise would help to tackle existing challenges in this field.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
