Immune responses can be a two-sided sword: although lack of immunity can be fatal, so can
over-activation of the immune system. The concept of homeostatic balance in immune
regulation has consequently been at the core of immune research. In this context, Yang Liu
takes a cautious view of the concept that CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell activation.
