 UCSF Molecular Medicine
Our efforts to modulate T cell activation have centered on understanding and altering either the positive signals delivered by the antigen-specific T cell receptor and secondary, so-called co-stimulatory signals or engaging the negative regulatory events such as CTLA-4 and Fas that control T cell signal transduction.
We have shown, that these monoclonal antibodies can induce T cells into a state of unresponsiveness that leads to long term T cell tolerance to foreign antigens.
Our work modifying T cell receptor and co-stimulatory signals have led to the development of a new understanding of tolerance induction in organ transplanted animals and those susceptible to autoimmunity.
