T-cell costimulation: T cells themselves call the shots
نویسنده
چکیده
The CD40L molecule expressed by CD4+ regulatory T lymphocytes is known to deliver signals that activate B cells and macrophages. It now appears that CD40L regulates T cells themselves, during both their development and their participation in adaptive immune responses.

Tumor-Unrelated CD4 T Cell Help Augments CD134 plus CD137 Dual Costimulation Tumor Therapy.
The ability of immune-based cancer therapies to elicit beneficial CD8(+) CTLs is limited by tolerance pathways that inactivate tumor-specific CD4 Th cells. A strategy to bypass this problem is to engage tumor-unrelated CD4 Th cells. Thus, CD4 T cells, regardless of their specificity per se, can boost CD8(+) CTL priming as long as the cognate epitopes are linked via presentation on the same dend...
متن کاملAnalysis of T cell stimulation by superantigen plus major histocompatibility complex class II molecules or by CD3 monoclonal antibody: costimulation by purified adhesion ligands VCAM-1, ICAM-1, but not ELAM-1
Many ligands of adhesion molecules mediate costimulation of T cell activation. The generality of this emerging concept is best determined by using model systems which exploit physiologically relevant ligands. We developed such an "antigen-specific" model system for stimulation of resting CD4+ human T cells using the following purified ligands: (a) major histocompatibility complex class II plus ...
متن کامل4-1BB and OX40 dual costimulation synergistically stimulate primary specific CD8 T cells for robust effector function.
CD40, 4-1BB, and OX40 are costimulatory molecules belonging to the TNF/nerve growth factor superfamily of receptors. We examined whether simultaneous costimulation affected the responses of T cells using several different in vivo tracking models in mice. We show that enforced dual costimulation through 4-1BB and OX40, but not through CD40, induced profound specific CD8 T cell clonal expansion. ...

According to the "two-step model," the intrathymic generation of CD4⁺ regulatory T (T(reg)) cells segregates into a first, T cell receptor (TCR)-driven phase and a second, cytokine-dependent phase. The initial TCR stimulus gives rise to a CD25⁺Foxp3⁻ developmental intermediate. These precursors subsequently require cytokine signaling to establish the mature CD25⁺Foxp3⁺ T(reg) cell phenotype. In...
