Descriptor antígenos B7
Scope note: Familia de proteínas de superficie celular que se encuentran en las CÉLULAS PRESENTADORAS DE ANTÍGENOS. Los antígenos B7 son ligandos para subtipos específicos de receptores de superficie celular encontrados en las CÉLULAS T. Juegan un rol inmunomodulador mediante la estimulación o inhibición de los procesos de activación de la CÉLULA T.
