CD28 is the second signal a T cell needs before it attacks. Many CAR-T cells carry a piece of CD28 inside them to fire harder, ipilimumab works by stopping CTLA-4 from hogging CD28's partners, and a new bispecific antibody presses CD28 directly on T cells that are already bound to prostate cancer cells. This dossier gathers the 1 product (0 approved), 1 trial, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
CD28 is constitutively expressed on T cells, and CD80 on antigen-presenting cells is its primary auxiliary signal (UniProt P33681). The bispecific approach costimulates only T cells whose other arm is already engaged with a tumour antigen, here PSMA.
