Abstract
T-lymphocyte activation antigen CD80 is a B-cell costimulator and podocyte injury marker originally described in lupus nephritis; CD80 blockade with abatacept disappointed in a lupus nephritis trial. A study now suggests abatacept efficacy in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. Small patient numbers and concurrent treatment regimens call for more definitive studies regarding this therapeutic strategy.Entities:
