The discovery of the CD1 antigen-presenting system reveals that T cells survey the lipid content of target cells via T-cell receptor (TCR) contact with CD1 bound to lipids, glycolipids and small molecules. Recently, CD1 proteins have been found to present mycobacterial lipopeptides that are involved

## Components of an antigen-/T cell receptorindependent pathway of lymphokine production* The general way to induce the synthesis of lymphokines by Tcells is the stimulation through theT cell receptor (TcR) complex which results in an increase of intracellular [Ca2+] and in the activation of a tyr
## Antigen-independent T cell activation mediated by a very late activation antigen-like extracellular matrix receptor* Cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) binding mediated by integrin molecules has been implicated in lymphocyte migration and adhesion. We describe here that ECM binding t
