Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention features methods of diagnosis by assessing B7-H1 expression in a tissue from a subject that has, or is suspected of having, cancer, methods of treatment with agents that interfere with B7-H1-receptor interaction, methods of selecting candidate subjects likely to benefit from cancer immunotherapy, and methods of inhibiting expression of B7-H1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating renal cell carcinoma in a human comprising administering, to said human, an anti-PD-1 antibody that interferes with an interaction between B7-H1 and PD-1, wherein some or all cells of said renal cell carcinoma express B7-H1. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said anti-PD-1 antibody is an IgG antibody. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein ≥10 percent of said cells of said renal cell carcinoma express B7-H1.
