Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytoplasmic T Lymphocyte Antigen - 4 (CTLA-4) gene encodes an immunoregulatory receptor expressed on surface of activated T-cells to mediate peripheral tolerance against self-antigen. It suppresses auto-reactive T-cell proliferation either by inactivation or apoptosis of T-cells. The CTLA-4 mRNA undergoes alternative splicing to synthesize a native soluble form of CTLA-4 (sCTLA-4) protein, which lacks...
