Background	CD86, also known as B7-2, is a type I membrane protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Like the related protein CD80, this protein is expressed by antigen-presenting cells, and is the ligand for two proteins at the cell surface of T cells, CD28 and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). Binding of this protein with CD28 antigen is a costimulatory signal for activation of the T-cell and induces T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. CTLA-4 binding negatively regulates T-cell activation and diminishes the immune response (1). Blocking the CTLA-4-CD80/CD86 interaction has been shown to enhance T-cell functions in acute lymphoblastomic leukemia (ALL), suggesting that this pathway may be an attractive target for future cancer immunotherapy (2).
