Abstract:
The B7 gene family plays critical roles in regulating adaptive cellular immunity by either costimulating or co-inhibiting T cell functions. And the oncogenic roles of B7 family have already been identified in various cancers, with the immune checkpoint inhibitors of PD-L1/PD-1and CTLA-4/B7 being successfully applied in cancer treatment.
