## Abstract 4β1BBL^β/β^ mice have a defect in recall CD8^+^ T cell responses to viruses, whereas CD4^+^ T cell responses to virus are unimpaired in these mice. In contrast, both CD4^+^ and CD8^+^ T cells respond to 4β1BB ligand (4β1BBL) __in vitro__. To clarify the role of 4β1BB/4β1BBL in CD4^+^ ve
While most of the focus in cancer immunology is on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses, recent evidence indicates that CD4+ T cells are an equally critical component of the antitumor immune response. Successful immunity to cancer will therefore require activation of tumor-specific CD4+ T cells. Tu
## Abstract The initial requirement for the emergence of CMVβspecific CD8^+^ T cells is poorly understood. Mice deficient in the cosignaling TNF superfamily member, 4β1BB, surprisingly developed exaggerated early CD8^+^ Tβcell responses to mouse CMV (MCMV). CD8^+^ T cells directed against acute MCM
