Inhibition of interaction between CTLA-4 and B7-1 by C4-302. Inhibitory activity of C4-302 was examined. C4-351, which was found to bind to Fc region of CTLA-4, was used as negative control. After mixing mRNA–ribosome–peptide complex of each clone with CTLA-4, B7-1 immobilized on streptavidin magnetic beads via biotin was added to the mixture. (A) Because C4-351 bound to the Fc region of CTLA-4, mRNA was collected at nearly 1010. (B) In C4-302, mRNA collection was reduced considerably to just under 107. This finding suggests that the C4-302 mRNA–ribosome–peptide complex inhibited the interaction of CTLA-4 with B7-1.
