ICOS is critical for CD40-mediated antibody class switching

TL;DR: Mice lacking ICOS exhibit profound deficits in immunoglobulin isotype class switching, accompanied by impaired germinal centre formation, and class switching was restored in ICOS-/- mice by CD40 stimulation, showing that ICOS promotes T-cell/B-cell collaboration through the CD40/CD40L pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse Inducible Costimulatory Molecule (ICOS) Expression Is Enhanced by CD28 Costimulation and Regulates Differentiation of CD4+ T Cells

TL;DR: Investigating the role of ICOS in activation of CD4+ T cells and its role in Th responses demonstrated that ICOS stimulation is important in T cell activation and thatICOS may have a particularly important role in development of Th2 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The B7 family of immune-regulatory ligands

TL;DR: The B7 family consists of structurally related, cell-surface protein ligands, which bind to the CD28 family of receptors on lymphocytes and regulate immune responses via 'costimulatory' or 'coinhibitory' signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Program death-1 engagement upon TCR activation has distinct effects on costimulation and cytokine-driven proliferation: attenuation of ICOS, IL-4, and IL-21, but not CD28, IL-7, and IL-15 responses.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-7 and IL-15 restore proliferation under conditions of PD-1 engagement by enhancing high-affinity IL-2R expression and hence,IL-2 responsiveness, and thus, STAT5 has been implicated in the maintenance of IL- 2Rα expression.
