Cooperative Roles of CTLA-4 and Regulatory T Cells in Tolerance to an Islet Cell Antigen [PDF]
Adoptive transfer of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific T cells from the DO.11 TCR transgenic mouse on a Rag−/− background into mice expressing OVA in pancreatic islet cells induces acute insulitis and diabetes only if endogenous lymphocytes, including regulatory T cells, are removed.

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a critical inhibitory checkpoint molecule, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting CTLA-4 that restore anti-tumor T cell immunity have achieved clinical success.

CTLA-4 Signaling Regulates the Intensity of Hypersensitivity Responses to Food Antigens, but is Not Decisive in the Induction of Sensitization [PDF]
Abstract Although food allergy has emerged as a major health problem, the mechanisms that are decisive in the development of sensitization to dietary Ag remain largely unknown. CTLA-4 signaling negatively regulates immune activation, and may play a crucial role in preventing induction and/or progression of sensitization to food Ag.

Antitumor immunity of DNA vaccine based on CTLA-4 fused with HER2 against colon carcinoma
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) negatively regulates the T cell activation and competes with CD28 in binding with B7.1/B7.2 molecules.

Molecules that inhibit T-cell functions: cytochemical localization and shuttling
Adaptive immune responses to antigens are mediated by specific receptors expressed on B cells (BCR’s) and T cells (TCR’s). Effector cells and memory cells are produced following a proliferative wave that accounts for clonal expansion.

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 ...

CTLA-4 Blockade, during HIV Virus-Like Particles Immunization, Alters HIV-Specific B-Cell Responses
Studies have shown that blockade of CTLA-4 promoted the expansion of germinal center B-cells in viral infection or immunization with model antigens. Few studies have evaluated the immunological consequences of CTLA-4 blockade during immunization against ...

Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma
Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic strategies Abstract Background and Aims Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly heterogeneous cancer with limited understanding and few effective therapeutic approaches. We aimed at providing a proteogenomic CCA characterization to inform biological processes and treatment ...

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 ...

Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte–associated Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) Regulates the Unfolding of Autoimmune Diabetes [PDF]
Evidence has been accumulating that shows that insulin-dependent diabetes is subject to immunoregulation. To determine whether cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is involved, we injected anti–CTLA-4 mAb into a TCR transgenic model of diabetes at different stages of disease.
