Abstract

B7-H4 inhibits T-cell activation and is widely expressed by solid neoplasms. We have recently demonstrated that the expression of B7-H4 on the surface of malignant cells in vivo is inducible, and that novel anti-B7-H4 recombinant antibodies can reverse the inhibition of tumor-specific T cells. Thus, antibodies targeting the B7-H4 pathways may extend the survival of cancer patients by restoring T cell-mediated antitumor responses.
