what's different between PD-1 and anti-PS



As far as I know they are completely unrelated.

PD-1 is concerned with an existing pathway that tumors essentially hijack in order to down-regulate T-cells. Anti-PD1 drugs seek to block this effect, which potentially would enable the body's own immune system to successfully attack a tumor cell.

Fair chance it will prove the most exciting new development in oncology in a while.
