    Definition point in the immune system acting as a brake and involved in- slowing down immune reactions to keep them under control; - helping to keep the immune system from attacking normal “self” cells (preventing autoimmune diseases); - preventing excessive responses to everyday threats (like potential allergens); and - restoring order after a strong immune response to a threat (like a viral or bacterial infection) has been eliminated. Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: UCIR. 'Checkpoint Blockade' (3.5.2024)"
