Defining mechanisms of co-inhibitory receptor Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (LAG-3) in T cells
2017-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG3) inhibitory receptor was first discovered on natural killer cells but has since been shown to also be present on other cells such as activated T cells and B cells. LAG3 is similar to the CD4 receptor and shares a 20% sequence similarity. The ligand of LAG3 has also been determined to be MHCII. Although there is similarity between LAG3 and CD4, LAG3 can bind to MHCII with sign...
