Abstract
V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is a novel checkpoint regulator with limited homology to other B7 family members. The constitutive expression of VISTA on both the myeloid and T lymphocyte lineages coupled to its important role in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses, qualifies VISTA to be a promising target for immunotherapeutic intervention. Studies have shown differential impact of agonistic and antagonistic targeting of VISTA, providing a unique landscape for influencing the outcome of cancer and inflammatory diseases.
