Description
BACKGROUND B7-1 and B7-2 are related immunoglobulin supergene family members that are expressed by multiple cell types involved in antigen presentation. Both B7-1 and B7-2 are constitutively expressed on dendritic cells and are upregulated on monocytes, macrophages, B cells, and T cells following activation.1 The upregulation on cells activated by various stimuli differs in terms of both the kinetics and density of expression of B7-1 and B7-2. B cells and monocytes, for example, upregulate B7-2 expression within 24 hr following activation with LPS, whereas B7-1 can only be detected 48 hr after activation, with the maximal cell surface expression being much less than observed with B7-2.
Generation of an effective immune response by T cells requires at least two signals from antigen-presenting cells: one mediated by specific antigen bound to MHC molecules and a second antigen-independent signal mediated by costimulatory ligands. The primary costimulatory receptor expressed on T cells is CD28. Interaction of CD28 with either of its ligands, B7-1 or B7-2, results in enhanced T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. Interactions of either B7-1 or B7-2 with CTLA-4, a homolog of CD28 expressed on T cells, results in inhibition of T cell responses. A third costimulatory receptor, ICOS, was also identified that is a close structural homolog of CD28 and CTLA-4. ICOS is induced on activated T cells and can costimulate T cell proliferation and a different spectrum of T cell cytokine production, but it does not appear to act through binding to B7-1 or B7-2. Additionally, PD-1 is an inhibitory receptor, with two B7-like ligands.2 Futhermore, The distinct functions for B7-1 and B7-2 may be involved in their role in TH0, TH1, or TH2 differentiation. However, other studies suggests that B7-1 and B7-2 determine the magnitude of costimulatory signals rather than the outcome of TH subset differentiation. A third possibility is that, rather than having distinct CD28-dependent costimulatory roles, the key functional differences concern the strength and/or mode of binding of B7-2 and B7-1 to CD28 and CTLA-4. Interestingly, it was reported that Adenovirus serotype 3 utilizes B7-1 and B7-2as cellular attachment receptors, which suggests a mechanism whereby viral exploitation of these proteins as receptors may achieve both goals of cellular entry and evading the immune system.3
