Background
CD86 (B7-2) and CD80 (B7-1) are ligands of T cell critical costimulatory molecule CD28 and of an inhibitory receptor CD152 (CTLA-4). Both B7 molecules are expressed on professional antigen-presenting cells and are essential for T cell activation, both molecules can also substitute for each other in this process. The question what are the differences in CD80 and CD86 competency has not been fully elucidated yet; there are still conflicts in results about their respective roles in initiation or sustaining of the T cell immune response.
