Crystallization and functional analysis of a soluble deglycosylated form of the human costimulatory molecule B7-1.
The interactions of B7-1 with CD28 and CTLA-4 modulate the course of human immune responses, making B7-1 an important target for developing structure-based therapeutics. B7-1 is, however, one of the most heavily glycosylated proteins found at the leukocyte cell surface, complicating the structural a...
