OVERVIEW

Costimulatory molecules have an important role in T cell-mediated immune responses and the maintenance of T cell tolerance. Better understanding of the complexities of the costimulatory pathways has facilitated the use of costimulatory blockade to modulate alloimmune responses and prolong graft survival. In this upcoming live event, an expert panel will discuss the role of costimulatory pathways in transplantation and therapeutic targets in the costimulatory pathways.
