Description

How does Opdivo (nivolumab) work?

Opdivo (nivolumab) has been designed to attach to a receptor called PD-1, found on certain cells of the immune system called T cells. Cancer cells can produce proteins (PD-L1 and PD-L2) that attach to this receptor, switching off the T cells. By attaching to the receptor, nivolumab prevents cancer cells from switching off T cells, thereby increasing the ability of the immune system to kill cancer cells.

  1. Emily J. Thompson

    Opdivo has been nothing short of a miracle for me. Diagnosed with advanced melanoma, I felt like I was running out of options. But then Opdivo came into my life, offering a glimmer of hope where there was once despair. Its immunotherapy approach has given me a new lease on life. The side effects have been minimal compared to other treatments I’ve endured, and the results have been remarkable. Not only has Opdivo halted the progression of my cancer, but it has also given me back the energy and vitality that cancer had stolen from me. I am forever grateful for this breakthrough medication and the researchers behind it. Opdivo isn’t just a drug; it’s a beacon of hope for those of us fighting against cancer’s relentless grip.
