Co-stimulatory signal deficiency impairs cytotoxic T lymphocyte function in tumor immune evasion: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic implications [PDF]
The generation and maintenance of effective tumor-specific CTL responses require more than antigen recognition. In most settings, TCR engagement must be accompanied by co-stimulatory input, with the B7-1/B7-2–CD28 axis being one of the best-characterized

Limited density of an antigen presented by RMA-S cells requires B7-1/CD28 signaling to enhance T-cell immunity at the effector phase. [PDF]
The association of B7-1/CD28 between antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells provides a second signal to proliferate and activate T-cell immunity at the induction phase.

Alternative immune checkpoints in immunoregulatory profile of cancer stem cells
Tumor-mediated bypass of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1), anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1, also called B7–H1 or CD274) or anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a challenge of ...

Augmented Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses Under Conditions of Diabetes–Filariasis Comorbidity
Metainflammation, as seen in chronic diabetes subjects, impairs immunity and increases the susceptibility to infections. In the present study, the effect of diabetes on immune response against filariasis was studied.

Background The inflammatory response is indispensable for protective immunity, yet microbial pathogens often trigger an excessive response, ‘cytokine storm’, harmful to the host. Full T-cell activation requires interaction of costimulatory receptors B7-1(

Regulatory mechanisms of immune checkpoints PD-L1 and CTLA-4 in cancer
The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4)/B7 and programmed death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are two most representative immune checkpoint pathways, which negatively regulate T cell immune function during different ...
