BACKGROUND: LIGHT Antibody: LIGHT, also known as Tumor Necrosis Factor Superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14) , is a co-stimulatory molecule that can regulate T-cell activation (1) and has recently been identified as an immune checkpoint protein. LIGHT binds to two different receptors, Herpes Virus Entry Mediator (HVEM) and Lymphotoxin beta Receptor (LTβR) . While LIGHT binding to HVEM delivers a co-stimulatory signal to T cells (1) , LIGHT binding to LTβR is critical for the formation of lymphoid structures which can stimulate T cell infiltration and activation of a tumor microenvironment, leading to rapid T cell-mediated tissue destruction (2) . It has been shown that targeted delivery of LIGHT to tumors, thereby causing the T cell infiltration of the tumor, can enhance the response of the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade anti-cancer therapy (3) , suggesting that LIGHT may become a potent tool in anti-cancer treatment.
