摘要: The B7.1 and B7.2 costimulatory molecules on antigen-presenting cells provide second signals for regulating T cell immune responses via CD28 cytotoxic lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) cells. proliferation, whereas CTLA4 anergy or apoptosis, terminating the response. Because apoptosis immunodeficiency is a characteristic of feline virus (FIV)-infected cats, it possible that negative signaling B7 may be favored in these cats. Flow cytometry revealed high percentages CD8 + CD4 expressing B7.1, B7.2, lymph nodes FIV-positive cats large fraction coexpressing B7.2. Three-color analysis with anti-B7.1, antiB7.2, anti-CTLA4 TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end-labeling) was These data support hypothesis node deterioration FIV-infected results from chronic B7.1- and/or B7.2-CTLA4-mediated T-T interactions.
