Comparison of the intracellular trafficking itinerary of ctla-4 orthologues. [PDF]
CTLA-4 is an essential inhibitor of T cell immune responses. At steady state, most CTLA-4 resides in intracellular compartments due to constitutive internalisation mediated via a tyrosine based endocytic motif (YVKM) within the cytoplasmic domain.

Biochemical analysis of CTLA-4 immunoreactive material from human blood [PDF]
Background CTLA-4 was initially described as a membrane-bound molecule that inhibited lymphocyte activation by interacting with B7.1 and B7.2 molecules on antigen presenting cells.

Structure-Function analysis of the CTLA-4 interaction with PP2A [PDF]
Background CTLA-4 functions primarily as an inhibitor of T cell activation. There are several candidate explanations as to how CTLA-4 modulates T cell responses, but the exact mechanism remains undefined.

Immune inhibitory function of bovine CTLA-4 and the effects of its blockade in IFN-γ production
Background Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is known as an immune inhibitory receptor that is expressed on activated effector T cells and regulatory T cells. When CTLA-4 binds to CD80 or CD86, immunoinhibitory signals are transmitted to retain a

CTLA-4 promotes lymphoma progression through tumor stem cell enrichment and immunosuppression
The recurrence rate of lymphoma is very high, and tumor stem cells may be an important mechanism. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) can inhibit antitumor immunity and promote cancer progression, but its role and mechanism in lymphoma ...

No association of CTLA-4 polymorphisms with susceptibility to Behcet disease [PDF]
Background: Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a key negative regulator of T lymphocytes and has been shown to be associated with a number of autoimmune diseases. The present study was performed to assess the association between CTLA-

L’immunotherapie par anticorps anti-CTLA-4, ipilimumab, est un traitement efficace du melanome metastatique utilise en monotherapie ou associe a la chimiotherapie (dacarbazine). L’effet therapeutique ne s’observe que chez 10 % a 20 % des patients, mais c’est la premiere fois qu’un medicament a un effet benefique sur la survie globale dans ce contexte ...

CTLA-4 correlates with immune and clinical characteristics of glioma
Background CTLA-4 is a well-studied immune checkpoint protein that negatively regulates T cell-mediated immune responses. However, the expression of CTLA-4 in glioma and the effects of CTLA-4 on prognosis in patients with glioma have not yet been ...
