Background: 2B4/CD244/SLAMF4
The 2B4 receptor has both activating and inhibitory signaling properties (1,4). 2B4's ligand is CD48, which is expressed on hematopoietic cells (4, 5). When bound to CD48, subsequent phosphorylation of the ITSMs occurs, followed by recruitment of SH-2-containing adaptor protein (SAP) and Fyn, leading to phosphorylation of PLCgamma and Vav1, and resulting in NK cell activation (4). In the absence of SAP, Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatases (SHP) get recruited and inhibits NK cell activation (4). In the context of infection such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), when lacking SAP, 2B4 has been shown to have an inhibitory function via impaired T cell cytotoxicity against EBV-infected cells (6). While 2B4 has a role in eliciting CD8+ T cell response, overexpression of 2B4 can lead to T cell exhaustion in states of chronic infection (6). Studies have suggested that the antibody blockade of the 2B4-CD48 interaction might enhance T cell and NK cell function, however given both the activating and inhibitory properties of the 2B4 receptor, more research needs to be done to prevent unwanted effects (6).
