Abstract

Various populations of accessory cells differ in their abilities to function as effective antigen-presenting cells (APC) and stimulate CD4+ T cells to produce interleukin-2. Three important factors directly related to APC potency are the expression of class II major histocompatibility complex molecules and the ability to present peptide antigens to the T cell antigen receptor, the expression of costimulatory ligands which deliver important activation signals independent of T cell receptor occupancy and the expression of adhesion molecules which promote conjugate formation so that these activation signals can be effectively delivered to the T cells. The relative importance of these accessory cell functions in T cell activation will be discussed, with an emphasis on costimulation and the CD28/B7 receptor/ligand pair. The consequence of inadequate costimulation by an otherwise effective APC in inducting T cell anergy will also be discussed. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A02GS021 00006
