Btn2a2, a T cell immunomodulatory molecule coregulated with MHC class II genes

Butyrophilins are proteins secreted during lactation and thought to influence immune function. Sarter et al. generated butyrophilin-2a2–deficient mice to show enhanced effector T cell responses, antitumor responses, and exacerbated EAE due to the impaired APC modulation of T cell immunity.
