Differential CTLA-4 expression in human CD4+ versus CD8+ T cells is associated with increased NFAT1 and inhibition of CD4+ proliferation

CTLA-4 is a costimulatory molecule that negatively regulates T cell activation. Originally identified in murine CD8+ T cells, it has been found to be rapidly induced on human T cells. Furthermore, CTLA-4 is expressed on regulatory T cells (Tregs). Clinically, targeting CTLA-4 has clinical utility in...
