The method of enhancing anti-tumor immunity in a patient by targeting the CD58:CD2 axis uses an administered treatment to target and disrupt CMTM6 regulation of PD-L1 protein, thus enhancing the immune response and cancer immunotherapy in the patient. Targeting and disruption of CMTM6 regulation of the PD-L1 protein may be combined with additional prompting of a PD-1 blockage or adoptive cell transfer (ACT) in the patient. Targeting and disrupting CMTM6 regulation of PD-L1 protein may be initiated by administering an effective amount of antibodies to the patient, which are specific to disrupting CMTM6/PD-L1 protein interaction. Alternatively, to enhance the anti-tumor immunity in the patient, CD2 mediated signaling may be increased in order to stimulate an immune response. As another alternative to using antibodies or a CD58 mimetic, a pharmacological target to boost CD2/CD58 signaling in the patient may be identified and administered to enhance anti-tumor immunity.
