简介
The CTLA-4 protein is a key inhibitory receptor and a major negative regulator of T cell responses in coordination of immune regulation. Its unique property is its significantly increased affinity for B7 ligands (CD80/CD86) compared with CD28. CTLA-4 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, mFc-Avi) is the recombinant human-derived CTLA-4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-Avi, C-mFc labeled tag.

Protein Description
CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) is an essential immune checkpoint receptor that plays a pivotal role in regulating T-cell activation and maintaining immune homeostasis. It is primarily expressed on activated T-cells and acts as an inhibitory receptor, counteracting the stimulatory signals provided by CD28 and thereby modulating the immune response. Dysregulation of CTLA-4 signaling can lead to autoimmune diseases or contribute to tumor evasion from immune surveillance, making it a significant target in cancer immunotherapy. The development of CTLA-4 recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, has demonstrated substantial clinical efficacy in enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. These therapies work by blocking CTLA-4 interactions, thereby augmenting T-cell activation and proliferation against cancer cells. Given the complexity of the immune system and the role of CTLA-4 in various diseases, ongoing research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of CTLA-4, optimizing therapeutic strategies, and exploring combinations with other immune checkpoint inhibitors to improve clinical outcomes for patients with malignancies and chronic infections. The increased understanding of CTLA-4 biology provides a foundation for innovative therapeutic approaches that harness the immune system more effectively in combating cancer and other immune-related disorders.
