CTLA-4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed by activated T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. CTLA-4 is homologous to the T-cell co-stimulatory protein, CD28, and both molecules bind to CD80 and CD86, also called B7-1 and B7-2 respectively, on antigen-presenting cells. CTLA-4 binds CD80 and CD86 with ...
The first checkpoint antibody approved by the FDA was ipilimumab, approved in 2011 for treatment of melanoma.

Belatacept, sold under the brand name Nulojix, is a fusion protein composed of the Fc fragment of a human IgG1 immunoglobulin linked to the extracellular domain of CTLA-4, [2] which is a molecule crucial in the regulation of T cell costimulation, selectively blocking the process of T-cell activation.
Blox Fruits (formerly known as Blox Piece), is an action fighting game created by Gamer Robot that is inspired by the manga and anime One Piece. [165] In the game, players choose to be a master swordsman, a powerful fruit user, a martial arts attacker or a gun user as they sail across the seas alone or in a team in search of various worlds and ...
Abatacept is a soluble CTLA-4 analog that prevents antigen-presenting cells (APCs) from delivering the co-stimulatory signal. This prevents the T cells from being fully activated, and even downregulates them. Simple signaling without co-stimulation allows the cell to recognize the primary signal as "self" and not ramp-up responses for future ...
Ipilimumab, sold under the brand name Yervoy, is a monoclonal antibody medication that works to activate the immune system by targeting CTLA-4, a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system.
He and Cassel founded Roblox Corporation in 2004. [3] [4] Working from an office in Menlo Park, California, they began preliminary work on the video game DynaBlocks, which was launched in a beta state later that year. [2] [4] The game's name was changed to Roblox in 2005, and the game was formally released on September 1, 2006. [4]
