Question Answer
Costimulation- Role Secondary signal required to prevent overstimulation of T-cells
Costimulation- Signal Binding of CD28 (on T-cells) and B7.1/7.2 on APC
Costimulation- Anergy Signal If antigen is presenting with Co-stimulation occurring, T-cell is permanently deactivated
Costimulation- Prevention of Autoimmunity Non Professional APCs don't have B7, so T-cells cannot be activated by normal, native cells
Inhibition of T-cells- CTLA-4 A CD28 homologue activated by CD28-B7 binding that competes with CD28 for B7
Inhibition of T-cells- CTLA-4 Affinity 20x higher than B7
Inhibition of T-cells- CTLA-4 Role Signals T cell to downregulate response
