## Abstract We have previously shown that human monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (DC) express indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO), as well as several other enzymes of the kynurenine pathway at the mRNA level upon maturation. The tolerogenic mechanisms of this pathway remain unclear. Here we show that
CD28 and CTLA-4 are opposing regulators of T cell activation, triggered by the two ligands CD80 and CD86. How these ligands promote either T cell activation via CD28 or inhibition via CTLA-4 is not understood. Using CD80 and CD86 molecules expressed on transfected cells, we have identified a major d
