High impact information on CTLA4

  • This pathway can be blocked by CTLA-4-Ig, a soluble form of CTLA-4 which binds with high avidity to the CD28 ligands, B7-1 and B7-2 [1].
  • The expression of CD28 and CTLA-4 transcripts on bovine WC1+ T cells indicates that these genes are evolutionarily conserved [2].
