Background: CD28

CD28 (cluster differentiation 28) is a 44 kDa disulfide linked homodimeric T cell specific surface glycoprotein with a role in providing co-stimulatory signals required for T cell activation and survival (1). The CD28 family of receptors, including PD-1, CTLA-4, and ICOS, share several common features including paired V-set immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) domains attached to a single transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domains containing critical signaling motifs (2). Additionally, CD28 and CTLA-4 are very similar in genomic organization. The corresponding genes co-map on human chromosome 2q33 and mouse chromosome 1 (3). Human CD28 isoform 1 is synthesized as a protein of 220 amino acids (aa) in length with a calculated molecular weight of 25 kDa (3).

CD28 is the prototypical and best-characterized costimulatory molecule on T cells (4). Its signals are critical for optimal naive T cell activation, cytokine production, proliferation, and survival (4). In order to sustain T cell activation, CD28 will consolidate immunological synapse formation, increase cell cycle progression through upregulated D-cyclin expression, and aid in T cell survival by in inducing the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-XL (5). CD28 is constitutively expressed on naive and central memory CD4+ and CD8+ cells (5). CD28 deficiency has a large impact on T cell responses including activation, proliferation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class-switching, and germinal center (GC) formation (6). CD28 is a critical regulator of autoimmune diseases and tolerance to solid organ transplants in human patients (6). The CD28 pathway plays a central role in immune responses against pathogens, autoimmune diseases, and graft rejection (7). CD28 engagement via antibodies augments the proliferation of T cells in response to immobilized anti-CD3 antibodies (8). Additionally, antibody engagement of CD28 can supply costimulation to T cells encountering APCs deficient in costimulatory ligands, such as CD80 and CD86, and prevents the resultant anergic state that otherwise occurs in the absence of costimulatory signaling (8).
