Abstract
This disclosure provides peptides which have a strong affinity for the checkpoint receptor 'programmed death 1' (PD-1). These peptides block the interaction of PD-1 with its ligand PD-L1 and can therefore be used for various therapeutic purposes, such as inhibiting the progression of a hyperproliferative disorder, including cancer, treating infectious diseases, enhancing a response to vaccination, and treating sepsis.
