Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (LAG-3) Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3; CD223) is a CD4 homolog known to be selectively expressed

in activated T and NK cells. LAG-3 negatively regu- lates T cell function and homeostasis. It was shown that LAG-3 surface expression can also be found on

w activated B cells and LAG-3 was proposed as a neww marker of T cell induced B cell activation (Kisielow

et al.; Eur. J. Immunol. 35, 2081 (2005)).AAs a soluble molecule, sLAG-3 activates antigen-pre-senting cells through MHC class II signalling, lead-ing to increased antigen-specifi c T cell responses invivo y . In addition to being a Th1 marker, sLAG-3 maywell be an important effector molecule regulating well be an important effector molecule regulating

the immune response to tumor antigens (Triebel,et al.; Cancer Lett. 2005 (in press)).
