Developing and characterizing a single-domain antibody (nanobody) against human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (hCTLA-4) [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021
Objective(s): Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) is the most important human immune checkpoint that modulates T cells activity and brings about immune-homeostasis.

Expression of CTLA‐4 by Human Monocytes [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2002
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte‐associated molecule‐4 (CTLA‐4) is a receptor present on T cells that plays a critical role in the downregulation of antigen‐activated immune responses. CTLA‐4 interacts with the ligands CD80 and CD86 on antigen‐presenting cells (APC), and also directs the assembly of inhibitory signalling complexes that lead to quiescence or ...

Progress in Research on Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte-Associated Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and Bladder Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Urologic Oncology, 2019
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) was first discovered in 1987 and confirmed to be a protein that is mainly expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes.

Fc-dependent depletion of tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells co-defines the efficacy of anti–CTLA-4 therapy against melanoma

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2013
Anti–CTLA-4 antibody induces selective depletion of T reg cells within tumor lesions in a manner that is dependent on the presence of Fc gamma receptor-expressing macrophages within the tumor microenvironment.

A MOLECULAR PERSPECTIVE OF CTLA-4 FUNCTION

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2006
Within the paradigm of the two-signal model of lymphocyte activation, the interest in costimulation has witnessed a remarkable emergence in the past few years with the discovery of a large array of molecules that can serve this role, including some with an inhibitory function.

CTLA-4 trafficking and surface expression [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Immunology, 2008
The T-cell co-receptor cytotoxic T-cell antigen 4 (CTLA-4) has a strong inhibitory role as shown by the lymphoproliferative phenotype of CTLA-4-deficient mice. Despite its potent effects on T-cell function, CTLA-4 is primarily an intracellular antigen whose surface expression is tightly regulated by restricted trafficking to the cell surface and rapid ...

Trans-endocytosis of CD80 and CD86: a molecular basis for the cell extrinsic function of CTLA-4

open access: yesScience, 2011
An inhibitory T cell receptor acts by stripping activating ligands off dendritic cells. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an essential negative regulator of T cell immune responses whose mechanism of action is the subject of debate.

Treg-expressed CTLA-4 depletes CD80/CD86 by trogocytosis, releasing free PD-L1 on antigen-presenting cells

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Immunosuppressive Tregs constitutively express CTLA-4, an immune checkpoint receptor. Addressing the role of CTLA-4 in Treg-suppressive function, we show that Treg-expressed CTLA-4, even in the absence of its cytoplasmic portion, promoted ...

CTLA-4: Not All Costimulation Is Stimulatory [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2011
To activate a T cell, it was widely accepted, even in the 1960s, that there had to be a “signal one,” namely, receptor recognition of a foreign Ag. That fact did not make it less exciting when, in the early 1980s, Abs to the TCR were generated and the genes that encode it identified ([1][1 ...

Table_1_Antitumor effect of plant-produced anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody in a murine model of colon cancer.docx

open access: yes, 2023
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) is an immune checkpoint regulator exclusively expressed on T cells that obstructs the cell’s effector functions.
