  • It took the past two decades for researchers to identify the braking mechanism, a molecule called CTLA-4, and develop a compound that gets the immune system to lift its foot off this brake enough to sufficiently attack melanoma, said James Allison , chairman of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's immunology program, whose research on the CTLA-4 molecule's role paved the way for ipilimumab's development.
