BT3 molecules ligation enhances the proinflammatory responses of human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells

BT3, a new family of immunoreceptors, belongs to the extended B7 family. BT3 are expressed on the surface of resting and activated monocytes and monocytes-derived dendritic cells (iDC). We show that BT3 cross-linking, in the absence of other survival factors, provides a survival signal for monocytes...
