The expression of CTLA-4 in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis patients and blocking CTLA-4 to reverse T cell exhaustion in Echinococcus multilocularis-infected mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the infection of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) larvae. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) produces inhibitory signals and induces T cell exhaustion, thereby ...

Vitamin D Antagonises the Suppressive Effect of Inflammatory Cytokines on CTLA-4 Expression and Regulatory Function.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The immune suppressive protein CTLA-4 is constitutively expressed by Tregs and induced in effector T cells upon activation. Its crucial role in adaptive immunity is apparent from the fatal autoimmune pathology seen in CTLA-4 knockout mice.

The cytoplasmic tail of CTLA-4 is dispensable for Nef-induced CTLA-4 down-regulation.

open access: yes, 2013
a) Accumulation of CTLA-4 on the cell surface after transfection with CTLA-4 Y201AY218G and CTLA-4ΔCT mutants and lower expression after transfection with CTLA-4 LL181AA. Black solid histograms represent the isotype controls.

From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

High CTLA-4 transcriptomic expression correlates with high expression of other checkpoints and with immunotherapy outcome

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology
Background: CTLA-4 impedes the immune system’s antitumor response. There are two Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-CTLA-4 agents – ipilimumab and tremelimumab – both used together with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents.

Efficacy and Safety of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Metastatic Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesChronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
PRISMA 2020 flow diagram of included studies. ABSTRACT Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed treatment strategies for metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of durvalumab combined with tremelimumab compared with those of standard chemotherapy, particularly in patients with low ...

High‐Dimensional Spectral Flow Cytometry Panel for Immunophenotypic Characterization of Fixed Whole Blood Samples

open access: yesCytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are commonly used for immune profiling in clinical research, but their isolation and cryopreservation present logistical challenges, particularly in settings with limited access to research facilities. To address this, we implemented a whole blood fixation protocol to preserve surface protein epitopes

Treatment‐Related Adverse Events and Health‐Related Quality of Life Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment for Mucosal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Scoping Review

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Supportive care needs of patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are ill‐defined. Hence, known treatment‐related adverse events (TRAEs) and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with ICI treatment for HNSCC were examined to inform future supportive care ...

Degradation of CTLA-4 chimeras.

open access: yes, 2013
A. CHO cells expressing CTLA-4 chimeras were incubated in medium or medium supplemented with cycloheximide (CHX) at 37°C for 3 hours. Cells were fixed, permeabilised and stained for total CTLA-4 with an unlabeled anti-CTLA-4 Ab followed by Alexa488 anti ...
