Immune activating antibodies that target co-stimulatory molecules have altered the cancer therapy landscape. Here, Walker and colleagues discuss therapies — particularly those that target molecules in the same families as CTLA4 and PD1 or TNF receptor — that inhibit the immune system and are being investigated for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. They describe the future opportunities and challenges for the field, including combination approaches.
