Cytotoxic lymphocyte associated molecule 4 CTLA 4 CD152
Cytotoxic lymphocyte-associated molecule-4 (CTLA-4, CD152) is a member of the CD28 receptor family which is expressed on the surface of Helper T cells. CTLA-4 is similar to the T-cell costimulatory pr...
Myc is the protein encoded by the MYC gene that activates the cell cycle
Myc is the protein encoded by the MYC gene that activates the cell cycle. It promotes cell replication through genetic coding for p14, inhibiting MDM2 and preventing the degradation of the pro-apopt...
In biology, and specifically genetics, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence – hence the name epi- (Gree...
Polo-like kinase (Plk) is an important cell cycle regulatory kinase that has been implicated in a multitude of cell cycle events. Plks form a family of four different proteins that regulates many as...
Despite the humorous name, hedgehog signalling cascades are central to embryonic development and has been implicated in the development of a number of diseases, including cancer. The downstream ca...

NYU researchers have shown that the induction of NKG2D ligands contributes to the synergy of radiotherapy with an anti-CTLA-4 mAb. The findings could be used to identify patients most likely to respon...
Tools: Strategic synergy Figure 1. Nkg2d ligands contribute to the synergy of radiotherapy and anti-CTLA-4 mAbs. In mice with poorly immunogenic murine carcinoma cells treated with an anti-CTLA-4 (CD1...
Changes in monocytes are biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) are the first to discover that changes in monocytes (a type of white blood cell) are a biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Geh...
Wang and colleagues show that miR-126 and miR-126* suppress metastasis by inhibiting the production of the Sdf-1α cytokine in mouse mammary tumours, resulting in decreased recruitment of mesenchymal...
Blood-circulating monocytes can replace brain resident microglia
The immune system is comprised of multiple cell types each capable of specialized functions to protect the body from invading pathogens and promote tissue repair after injury. One cell type, known as...
A One-Two Punch By The Immune System Knocks Out Cancer Cells
An emerging class of therapies called "checkpoint blockade" enhance the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells by interfering with the immunological checkpoints that slow or stop immune cell a...

CTLA-4 is expressed by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and regulates their functions.
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is the major negative regulator of T cell responses although growing evidence supports its wider role as an immune attenuator which may also act in other cell...
The role of CTLA-4 in negative regulation of T-cell mediated immune response is particularly well established. Much less is known about its expression and function in tumour cells, and to our knowledg...
CTLA-4 polymorphisms and susceptibility to Behcet's disease: a meta-analysis.
The aim of this study was to explore whether cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations b...
Low CTLA-4 expression in CD4+ helper T-cells in patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes.
Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a novel subtype of type 1 diabetes characterized by a remarkably abrupt onset of insulin-deficient hyperglycemia. An accelerated immune reaction has been suggested as the...
Cervical cancer (CC) occurs more frequently in women who are immunosuppressed, suggesting that both local and systemic immune abnormalities may be involved in the evolution of the disease. Costimulato...
