title: Molecular cloning of the cDNAs encoding the feline B-lymphocyte activation antigen B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) homologues which interact with human CTLA4-Ig.
abstract: We cloned the cDNAs encoding the feline homologues of B-lymphocyte activation antigens B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86). We expressed recombinant feline CD80 and CD86 molecules by the baculovirus expression system, and demonstrated their binding ability to human CTLA4-murine immunoglobulin fusion protein.
