CTLA4 ligands are important costimulatory molecules because soluble CTLA4Ig blocks the induction of T cell responses and induces T cell tolerance. As CTLA4 immunoglobulin (CTLA4Ig) binds B7 when the latter is expressed on fibroblasts, it was widely assumed that CTLA4Ig blocks T cell costimulation by blocking the function of B7. Here we show that the major costimulatory ligand bound by CTLA4Ig (which we term CTLA4 ligand A) on antigen-presenting cells are not encoded by the B7 gene. CTLA4 ligand A also differs from B7 in cellular distribution and in the respective levels of expression. Both B7 and CTLA4 ligand A are critically involved in T cell costimulation.

Tumor antigen-specific T-cell tolerance may limit the efficacy of therapeutic cancer vaccines. Direct presentation of antigens by tumor cells incapable of providing adequate costimulation to tumor-specific T cells has been suggested as the basis for this unresponsiveness. Using parent-into-F1 bone marrow (BM) chimeras, this study unambiguously demonstrates that the induction of this tolerant state requires T-cell recognition of tumor antigen presented by BM-derived antigen-presenting cells (APCs), not tumor cells themselves. In the absence of host APC presentation, tumor-specific T cells remained functional, even in the setting of antigen expressed by B-cell lymphomas residing in secondary lymphoid tissues. The intrinsic APC capacity of tumor cells has therefore little influence over T-cell priming versus tolerance, a decision that is regulated at the level of host APCs.
