Expression and Function of the Inducible Costimulator Ligand B7-H2 in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells

Expression and Function of the Inducible Costimulator Ligand B7-H2 in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells

Background: B7-H2 is a ligand for the inducible costimulator (ICOS). The aim of this study was to examine the expression and function of B7-H2 in human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells and compare them with those of CD40 or OX40 ligand (OX40L). Methods: Expression of B7-H2, CD40 and OX40L in ASM cel...
