Abstract:
B7H1 is a recently described B7 family member.Ligation of PD-1 receptors with B7hl on the surface of activated T cell inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. B7H1 plays a negative regulatory role in peripheral tolerance, autoimmune diseases and chronic infections.B7H1 also has been found to be largely expressed on a broad range of cancers and is thought to contribute to immune evasion by cancers. Blockade of B7H1/PD-1 pathway may contribute to the treatment of autoimmune diseases and maligant tumors.
