Abstract excerpt
Costimulatory molecules have complementary effects on T-cell activation and their balance may control the development of oral cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), CD28 and inducible costimulator (ICOS) polymorphisms in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Genotyping for CTLA-4 (-1661 A/G and +49 A/G), CD28 (0 C/G and +3160 G/T) and ICOS (+637...
