Background: B7-H4

B7-H4, also known as B7x and B7S1, belongs to the B7 family of costimulatory proteins and contains two extracellular Ig-like domains. B7-H4 is expressed on T cells, B cells, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and some tumor cells. B7-H4 signaling inhibits T cell activation, proliferation and maturation.
