Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) plays a key inhibitory role during T lymphocyte activation. The CTLA4 gene is translated into two proteic isoforms: a full-length protein (flCTLA-4) and a soluble counterpart. We explored the expression of both isoforms on healthy subjects. Whereas in non-stimulated cells the flCTLA-4 isoform is predominant, after stimulation the expression of the soluble form rapidly...
