Core Tip |
Costimulation blockade (e.g., CD28/B7 and CD40/CD40L blockade) has been successfully used experimentally to induce tolerance to allo- or auto-antigens. Several studies suggest that effector T cells (Teff) and regulatory T cells (Treg) have different requirements regarding costimulation. While blockade of the CD40L receptor does not affect Treg cells and targets Teff cells, the effect of blocking the CD28/cytolytic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4/B7 interaction (with CTLA-4Ig) is more difficult to predict and depends on the type, the strength and the stage of an immune process. Importantly, manipulating these costimulatory signals can therefore shift the Treg/Teff cell balance towards dominant Treg cell activity. |
