The homodimer interfaces of costimulatory receptors B7 and CD28 control their engagement and pro-inflammatory signaling
Abstract Background The inflammatory response is indispensable for protective immunity, yet microbial pathogens often trigger an excessive response, ‘cytokine storm’, harmful to the host. Full T-cell activation requires interaction of costimulatory receptors B7-1(CD80) and B7-2(CD86) expressed on an...
