摘要:
BTN3A ectodomain polypeptides are provided, which comprise a BTN3A ectodomain (e.g., a BTN3A1, BTN3A2, or BTN3A3 ectodomain) and lack a BTN3A transmembrane domain (e.g., a BTN3A1, BTN3A2, or BTN3A3 transmembrane domain). Compositions and methods are provided for activating an antigen presenting cell (APC). In some cases, the APC is activated in vivo. For example, in some cases, APC activity is stimulated (an APC is activated) in a mammal by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a BTN3A ectodomain polypeptide.
