We used data from the Protein Data Bank to build an illustration showing the battle between a tumour and the immune system. The tumour has expressed proteins to suppress T-cell activity, but a synthetic drug (yellow) acts to block the receptors on the T-cells, meaning that the T-cells are not suppressed and are able to attack the tumour. This was created for Pint of Science, to accompany a talk in Cambridge.
