What is CD28 a marker for?
The CD28 molecule, a disulfide-linked homodimer expressed on peripheral T cells and thymocytes, mediates an essential costimulatory signal following engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR).
Which receptors are related to CD28?
A counter-receptor for CD28 is the B7 molecule expressed on activated B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. B7 also binds to CTLA-4, a receptor that is structurally related to CD28.
Do T cells express CD28?
Almost all murine T cells express CD28 and bind to the costimulatory ligands CD80 and CD86 to provide a costimulatory signal to T cells. It is expressed on 95% of the resting CD4+ T cells and 50% of the resting CD8+ T cells in human peripheral blood.
Which protein belongs to the CD28 family?
Two family members, CD28 and ICOS, act as positive regulators of T cell function while another three, BTLA, CTLA-4 and PD-1 act as inhibitors. Ligands for the CD28 receptor family include B7 family proteins. CD28 receptors play a role in the development and proliferation of T cells.
Where is CD28 found?
CD28 (Cluster of Differentiation 28) is one of the proteins expressed on T cells that provide co-stimulatory signals required for T cell activation and survival.
Where is CD28?
Is CD28 a costimulation?
Because tyrosine phosphorylation of CD28 plays a critical role in the early signaling events that characterize CD28 costimulation, many investigations have focused on understanding the role of this post-translational modification.
Who discovered CD28?
T-cell biology group
Structure. The first structure of CD28 was obtained in 2005 by the T-cell biology group at the University of Oxford. The structure of the CD28 protein contains 220 amino acids, encoded by a gene consisting of four exons.
How is CD28 activated?
CD28 (Cluster of Differentiation 28) is one of the proteins expressed on T cells that provide co-stimulatory signals required for T cell activation and survival. When activated by Toll-like receptor ligands, the CD80 expression is upregulated in antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
What are the members of the CD28 receptor family?
The CD28 family in turn is a subgroup of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Two family members, CD28 and ICOS, act as positive regulators of T cell function while another three, BTLA, CTLA-4 and PD-1 act as inhibitors. Ligands for the CD28 receptor family include B7 family proteins.
How does PD-1 inactivate the CD28 receptor?
These results reveal that PD-1 suppresses T cell function primarily by inactivating CD28 signaling, suggesting that costimulatory pathways play key roles in regulating effector T cell function and responses to anti-PD-L1/PD-1 therapy.

What kind of immunoglobulin does CD28 have?
CD28 belongs into group members of a subfamily of costimulatory molecules that are characterized by an extracellular variable immunoglobulin-like domain. Members of this subfamily also include homologous receptors ICOS, CTLA4, PD1, PD1H, and BTLA.
Why is CD28 important to the costimulatory pathway?
The importance of the costimulatory pathway is underlined by the fact that antagonists of co-stimulatory molecules disrupt the immune responses both in vitro and in vivo. CD28 possesses an intracellular domain with several residues that are critical for its effective signaling.
