basic FUNCTION
| involved in the costimulatory signal essential for t lymphocytes activation |
|
T cell proliferation and cytokine production |
|
playing a role in stimulating T lymphocyte activation |
|
direct signaling through CD86/CD80 is a potent regulator of IgG secretion by previously activated B cells |
|
CD80/CD86 engagement results in DC production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL6, which is necessary for full T cell activation |
|
distinct but complementary roles of CD80 and CD86 IgV and IgC domains in T cell activation |
