The Cluster of differentiation 80 (also CD80 and B7-1) is a B7, type I membrane protein [5] in the immunoglobulin superfamily, with an extracellular immunoglobulin constant-like domain and a variable-like domain required for receptor binding.

There are two major types of B7 proteins: B7-1 or CD80, and B7-2 or CD86. It is not known if they differ significantly from each other. So far CD80 is found on dendritic cells, macrophages, and activated B cells, CD86 (B7-2) on B cells. The proteins CD28 and CTLA-4 (CD152) each interact with both B7-1 and B7-2.

Feb 3, 1997 · The structurally related T cell surface molecules CD28 and CTLA-4 interact with cell surface ligands CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) on antigen-presenting cells (APC) and modulate T cell antigen recognition.

B7-0 or B7-2 (CD86) is a T cell costimulatory molecule that binds the same receptors (CD28 and CTLA-4) as B7-1 (CD80), but shares with it only approximately 25% sequence identity and is expressed earlier during an immune response.

In this study we demonstrate that, although CD80 and CD86 are both expressed on monocytes, they seem to have different functions. Freshly isolated monocytes express CD86 but are CD80-negative. CD80 expression is weakly induced after 6-8 hr of in …

Recently, functions of B7 costimulatory molecules in vivo have been investigated in B7-1 and/or B7-2 knockout mice, and the authors concluded that CD86 could be more important for initiating T-cell responses, while CD80 could be more significant for maintaining these immune responses.

We report here that attenuation of B7-H1/CD80 signals by treatment with anti–B7-H1 monoclonal antibody, which specifically blocks B7-H1/CD80 but not B7-H1/PD-1, enhanced T-cell expansion and prevented T-cell anergy induction.

Feb 15, 1998 · Data accumulated to date suggest that the interaction between CD28 expressed on T cells and its counter-receptors CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) expressed on specialized APC provides the most important costimulatory signal (5, 6).

B7-0 or B7-2 (CD86) is a T cell costimulatory molecule that binds the same receptors (CD28 and CTLA-4) as B7-1 (CD80), but shares with it only ∼25% sequence identity and is expressed earlier during an immune response.

Jan 6, 2000 · Structure and dimerization of a soluble form of B7-1. B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) are glycoproteins expressed on antigen-presenting cells. The binding of these molecules to the T cell homodimers CD28 and CTLA-4 (CD152) generates costimulatory and inhibitory signals in T cells, respectively.
