Abstract: Co-stimulatory receptors on the surface of immune cells play important role in the activation,proliferation and effectors' function of immune cells.In tumors,co-stimulatory receptors can be activated by specific agonistic monoclonal antibodies to enhance the effectors' function of immune cells,promote the killing of tumor cells,inhibit tumor growth,and can be used as a target for anti-tumor immunotherapy.This article reviews the role of several co-stimulatory receptors in the physiological conditions,tumor immunology and anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Key words: Tumor, Co-stimulatory and inhibitory T-Cell receptors, Immunotherapy
