CTLA-4 Antibodies in Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yes, 2016
Activating human immune system to battle cancer has been a focus of cancer immunotherapy research from quite some time. After decades of disappointment, the tide has finally changed with some recent successes in clinical trials.

1) Investigation of the clathrin-dependent internalisation of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 2) Analysis of the antigen-specific cytokine responses of CD4+ T lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
1) Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a key inhibitory regulator of T-cell function. Its expression is predominantly intracellular however, many theories surrounding it’s inhibitory action do not account for its endocytic behaviour.

Effect of Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen-4 on the Efficacy of the Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Vaccine Against Schistosoma japonicum

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The present study evaluated the impact of blocking cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) activity on the protective effect elicited by the fatty acid binding protein (FABP) vaccine against Schistosoma japonicum infection.

Polymorphic sites at the immunoregulatory CTLA-4 gene are associated with chronic chagas disease and its clinical manifestations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Chagas disease affects approximately 10 million people mainly in Latin America. The immune regulation by the host seems to be an essential factor for disease evolution, and immune system inhibitory molecules such as CTLA-4 and PD-1 favor the ...

Functional Polymorphism of Ctla-4 and Icos Genes in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

open access: yes, 2011
T cells play a critical role in alloimmune recognition and thus contribute to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse prevention in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 ( CTLA-4) and inducible costimulator

برهمکنش های مولکولی بین CTLA-4 و CD80/CD86 در تنظیم پاسخ های ایمنی: مقاله مروری [PDF]

open access: yesMajallah-i Dānishkadah-i Pizishkī-i Dānishgāh-i ̒ Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Mashhad.
یکی از اصلی ترین مکانیسم های تنظیم پاسخ های ایمنی برهم کنش متقابل CTLA-4 و CD80/CD86 است. CTLA-4 نوعی رسپتور مهاری و دارای لیگاندهای CD80/CD86 و مشترک با گیرنده کمک محرک CD28 است. CTLA-4 طی فرآیندی به نام ترانس ‌اندوسیتوزیس این لیگاندها را اندوسیتوز کرده

CD86 Is a Selective CD28 Ligand Supporting FoxP3+ Regulatory T Cell Homeostasis in the Presence of High Levels of CTLA-4

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
CD80 and CD86 are expressed on antigen presenting cells and are required to engage their shared receptor, CD28, for the costimulation of CD4 T cells. It is unclear why two stimulatory ligands with overlapping roles have evolved.

Immune checkpoint deficiencies and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndromes

open access: yesBiomedical Journal, 2021
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is an inherited non-malignant and non-infectious lymphoproliferative syndrome caused by mutations in genes affecting the extrinsic apoptotic pathway (FAS, FASL, CASP10).

No evidence of a significant role for CTLA-4 in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Variation in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) gene plays a significant role in determining susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid disease and type 1 diabetes. Its role in multiple sclerosis is more controversial. In order to explore

Predictive and prognostic biomarkers of Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin therapy failure in bladder cancer patients: A systematic review

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
High‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...
