Background Information
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), also known as CD152, is an immune checkpoint receptor found on T cells. It shares 30% homology with CD28 and binds to the same ligands, B7.1/CD80 and B7.2/CD86, but with higher affinity. After T-cell activation, increased CTLA-4 expression leads to immune suppression by binding to CD80/CD86, inhibiting further T-cell activation through a process called trans-endocytosis.CTLA-4 is crucial for immune regulation and tolerance, especially on regulatory T cells (Tregs). Soluble CTLA-4 (sCTLA-4) further enhances Treg function and is linked to autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes. Additionally, CTLA-4 plays a role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression.Due to its immune-modulatory role, CTLA-4 is targeted in cancer therapy. Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks CTLA-4, is approved for melanoma and is being explored for other cancers.
