Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-Endocytosis of CD80 and CD86: A Molecular Basis for the Cell-Extrinsic Function of CTLA-4

TL;DR: A mechanism of immune regulation in which CTLA-4 acts as an effector molecule to inhibit CD28 costimulation by the cell-extrinsic depletion of ligands is revealed, accounting for many of the known features of the CD28–CTLA- 4 system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normal human pregnancy is associated with an elevation in the immune suppressive CD25+ CD4+ regulatory T-cell subset.

TL;DR: The concept that normal pregnancy is associated with an elevation in the number of TReg cells which may be important in maintaining materno‐fetal tolerance is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and IL-2 Combine to Inhibit T Cell Production of Inflammatory Cytokines and Promote Development of Regulatory T Cells Expressing CTLA-4 and FoxP3

TL;DR: The results suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 and IL-2 have direct synergistic effects on activated T cells, acting as potent anti-inflammatory agents and physiologic inducers of adaptive regulatory T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging role of CTLA4 as a cell-extrinsic regulator of T cell responses

TL;DR: The T cell protein cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) was identified as a crucial negative regulator of the immune system over 15 years ago, but its mechanisms of action are still under debate.
