ICOS [CD278] – ICOSL [CD275] Pathway
Inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS; CD278) is an activating receptor expressed on the surface of activated cytotoxic T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), NK cells and other types of T cells, having a distinct and opposing function than CTLA-4. The ligand ICOSL (B7-H2; CD275) is expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. ICOS/ICOSL signaling leads to the activation, proliferation and survival of cytotoxic T cells, as well as the survival of memory T cells. Recently, it has been shown that ICOS expression could be a useful predictive biomarker of response to checkpoint inhibitor treatments (e.g through the CTLA-4 axis).
