The success of targeted therapies for hematological malignancies has heralded their potential as both salvage treatment and early treatment lines, reducing the need for high-dose, intensive, and often toxic chemotherapeutic regimens. For young patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), immunotherapies provide the possibility to lessen long-term, treatment-related toxicities. However, suitable therapeutic targets are lacking. By integrating single-cell dissection of the tumor landscape and an in-depth, single-cell–based off-tumor antigen prediction, we identify CD86 as a promising therapeutic target in cHL. CD86 is highly expressed on Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cancer cells and cHL-specific tumor-associated macrophages. We reveal CD86–CTLA-4 as a key suppressive pathway in cHL, driving T-cell exhaustion. Cellular therapies targeting CD86 had extraordinary efficacy in vitro and in vivo and were safe in immunocompetent mouse models without compromising bacterial host defense in sepsis models. Our results prove the potential value of anti-CD86 immunotherapies for treating cHL.
