Article Title: Ablation of B7-H3 but not B7-H4 results in highly increased tumor burden in a murine model of spontaneous prostate cancer
Abstract: The costimulatory molecules B7-H3 and B7-H4 are overexpressed in a variety of human tumors and have been hypothesized as possible biomarkers and immunotherapeutic targets. Despite this potential, the predominating uncertainty about their functional implication in tumor-host interaction hampers their evaluation as a target for cancer therapy. By means of a highly physiologic, spontaneous tumor model in mice, we establish a causal link between B7-H3 and host tumor control and found B7-H4 to be redundant. © 2015 AACR.
