The emerging role of CTLA4 as a cell-extrinsic regulator of T cell responses

LSK Walker, DM Sansom - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2011 - nature.com
The T cell protein cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) was identified as a crucial negative
regulator of the immune system over 15 years ago, but its mechanisms of action are still …

The enemy within: keeping self-reactive T cells at bay in the periphery

LSK Walker, AK Abbas - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2002 - nature.com
The remarkable capacity of the mammalian immune system to coordinate deadly attacks
against numerous invading pathogens, yet turn a blind eye to self-tissues continues to fascinate …

[HTML][HTML] Treg and CTLA-4: two intertwining pathways to immune tolerance

LSK Walker - Journal of autoimmunity, 2013 - Elsevier
Both the CTLA-4 pathway and regulatory T cells (Treg) are essential for the control of immune
homeostasis. Their therapeutic relevance is highlighted by the increasing use of anti-CTLA…

Trans-endocytosis of CD80 and CD86: a molecular basis for the cell-extrinsic function of CTLA-4

…, Z Briggs, TZ Hou, CE Futter, G Anderson, LSK Walker… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an essential negative regulator of T cell
immune responses whose mechanism of action is the subject of debate. CTLA-4 shares two …

1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and IL-2 combine to inhibit T cell production of inflammatory cytokines and promote development of regulatory T cells expressing CTLA-4 …

…, OS Qureshi, M Hewison, LSK Walker… - The journal of …, 2009 - journals.aai.org
The active form of vitamin D, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1, 25 (OH) 2 D 3), has potent
immunomodulatory properties that have promoted its potential use in the prevention and treatment …

Autosomal dominant immune dysregulation syndrome in humans with CTLA4 mutations

…, U Salzer, A Franke, S Sakaguchi, LSK Walker… - Nature medicine, 2014 - nature.com
The protein cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an essential negative regulator of
immune responses, and its loss causes fatal autoimmunity in mice. We studied a large family …

Antigen-dependent Proliferation of CD4+ CD25+ Regulatory T Cells In Vivo

LSK Walker, A Chodos, M Eggena, H Dooms… - The Journal of …, 2003 - rupress.org
The failure of CD25 + regulatory T cells (T regs ) to proliferate after T cell receptor (TCR)
stimulation in vitro has lead to their classification as naturally anergic. Here we use T regs …

Compromised OX40 function in CD28-deficient mice is linked with failure to develop CXC chemokine receptor 5–positive CD4 cells and germinal centers

LSK Walker, A Gulbranson-Judge, S Flynn… - The Journal of …, 1999 - rupress.org
Mice rendered deficient in CD28 signaling by the soluble competitor, cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated
molecule 4–immunoglobulin G1 fusion protein (CTLA4-Ig), fail to upregulate …

[HTML][HTML] Confusing signals: recent progress in CTLA-4 biology

LSK Walker, DM Sansom - Trends in immunology, 2015 - cell.com
The mechanism of action of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) remains
surprisingly unclear. Regulatory T (Treg) cells can use CTLA-4 to elicit suppression; however, …

The role of CD28 and cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen‐4 (CTLA‐4) in regulatory T‐cell biology

DM Sansom, LSK Walker - Immunological reviews, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The profound influence of CD28 and cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen‐4 (CTLA‐4) on T‐cell
immunity has been known for over a decade, yet the precise roles played by these molecules …
