CD80
  • Also called B7-1, BB1
  • T cells need 2 signals for activation; the first signal is antigen peptide presented on MHC class II through the T cell receptor

  • Has critical role in autoimmune, humoral and transplant responses
  • Increased expression may cause excessive antigen presentation in fulminant hepatic failure, as an early step in its pathogenesis before the onset of tissue damage (Am J Pathol 1999;154:1711)
  • Receptor for some adenovirus species (Virus Res 2006;122:144)
