Antigen-specific T cell responses have primarily been considered in terms of activation signals delivered through the TCR and the co-stimulatory molecule CD28. In the past few years, studies have demonstrated the critical importance of inhibitory signals for regulating lymphocyte activation. CD28 an

β¦ Synopsis
The analysis of recent data reveals that T-cell co-stimulation is a hierarchical process with elements of mutual interdependence between individual co-stimulators. The expression and function of co-stimulatory molecules is biased on various T-cell subsets and is dependent on the T-cell differentiation state. The classical paradigm of T-cell co-stimulation by professional antigen-presenting cells has to incorporate the newly recognized concept of T-cell co-stimulation in the interaction with peripheral tissues, such as endothelial or epithelial cells. The two signal paradigm of T-cell co-stimulation is being replaced by a multisignal integration concept of central and peripheral co-stimulation.

87-I (CD80) provides co-stimulation for T-cell activation by interacting with CD28 or CTLA4. Here we demonstrate the expression of 87-I in freshly isolated and cultured lymphocytes from renal-cell carcinoma. In fresh preparations of lymphocytes infiltrating renal-cell-carcinoma tissue, B7-I mRNA cou
Three distinct subsets of T helper (Th) cells, Th1, Th2, and Th17, not only contribute to host defense against pathogens, but also cause many types of immune diseases. Differentiation and functions of these T cell subsets are mainly regulated by specific cytokines. Intriguingly, recent studies have
