4-1BB:<br />

A TNF receptor family molecule that binds specifically to<br />

4-1BB ligand.<br />

4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL)<br />

A TNF family molecule that binds to 4-1BB.<br />

selection<br />

The initial principal checkpoint in T cell development. It is<br />

the pathway in which the T cell receptor β chain receptor<br />

expressed by a DN3 thymocyte interacts in a pre-TCR that<br />

enables the thymocyte to receive a survival/proliferation<br />

signal (pre-TCR activation) and become committed to the<br />

αβ T cell lineage.<br />

B-1 cells<br />

B lymphocytes that express the CD5 glycoprotein and<br />

synthesize antibodies of broad specificities. They comprise<br />

a minor population of B cells. Also called CD5 B cells.<br />

B-1a B cells (CD5)<br />

A small population of B cells that express CD5, but to<br />

a lesser degree than CD5 expression on T cells. CD5<br />

is a negative regulator of T cell receptor signaling. It<br />

participates in apoptosis of B-1a cells induced by B cell<br />

receptors.<br />

B7.<br />

B-2 cells<br />

B lymphocytes that fail to express the CD5 glycoprotein<br />

and synthesize antibodies of narrow specificities. They<br />

comprise most of the B cell population.<br />

b4, b5, b6, and b9<br />

The four alleles whose κ chains vary in multiple constant<br />

region amino acid residues.<br />

B7<br />

A homodimeric immunoglobulin superfamily protein<br />

whose expression is restricted to the surfaces of cells<br />

that stimulate growth of T lymphocytes. The ligand for<br />

B7 is CD28. B7 is expressed on the surfaces of professional<br />

antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and is important in<br />

costimulatory mechanisms. Some APCs may upregulate<br />

expression of B7 following activation by various stimuli,<br />

including IFN-α, endotoxin, and major histocompatibility<br />

complex (MHC) class II binding. B7 is also referred to as<br />

BB1, B7.1, or CD80.<br />

B7.1 costimulatory molecule<br />

A 60-kDa protein that serves as a costimulatory ligand for<br />

CD28 but as an inhibitory ligand upon interacting with<br />

CTLA-4 molecules. Also called CD80.<br />
