Journal ArticleDOI

B7/CD28 costimulation is essential for the homeostasis of the CD4+CD25+ immunoregulatory T cells that control autoimmune diabetes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the CD28/ B7 costimulatory pathway is essential for the development and homeostasis of regulatory T cells that control spontaneous autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

CTLA-4 can function as a negative regulator of T cell activation

TL;DR: Results suggest that the MAb may obstruct the interaction of CTLA-4 with its natural ligand and block a negative signal, or directly signal T cells to down-regulate immune function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term survival of xenogeneic pancreatic islet grafts induced by CTLA4lg

TL;DR: CTLA4lg therapy blocked human pancreatic islet rejection in mice by directly affecting T cell recognition of B7+ antigen-presenting cells and induced long-term, donor-specific tolerance, which may have applications to human organ transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD28/B7 Regulation of Th1 and Th2 Subsets in the Development of Autoimmune Diabetes

TL;DR: The early differentiation of naive diabetogenic T cells into the Th2 subset is dependent upon CD28 signaling and extends the understanding of the importance of Th1/Th2 balance in the regulation of this spontaneous autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blockade of CD28/B7-1 interaction prevents epitope spreading and clinical relapses of murine EAE

TL;DR: It is suggested that the maintenance of autoimmune reactivity in EAE depends on CD28/B7-1-dependent costimulation of newly recruited T cells responsible for epitope spreading.
