Schematic representation of AI-assisted anti-CTLA-4 drug discovery. (a) The extracellular domain of CTLA-4 with residues around the binding site is shown in yellow (26PGKAT) and other colors (98MYPPPYY104). (b) The interactions between B7 (CD80 and CD86) and CTLA-4 or CD28 occurring with varying affinities are represented by the thicknesses of the arrows. AI, artificial intelligence; APC, antigen-presenting cell; CTLA-4, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4; IFN-γ, interferon γ; MHC II-Ag, major histocompatibility class 2 antigen; PD-1, programmed cell death protein-1; PD-L1, programmed death-ligand 1; Tconv, T conventional; TCR, T-cell receptor; Treg, T regulatory cell.
