Regulation of T cell activation

Abstract:

Recognition of a cognate peptide-MHC molecule by its T cell receptor (TCR) triggers a critical cascade of protein re-organisation and clustering at the cell interface. This results in the formation of the immunological synapse (IS), concurrent with and influencing T cell activation. The glycoprotein CD2 with its ligand CD48 (mouse) or CD58 (human) has been shown to act as an important adhesion/co-stimulatory molecule influencing the T cell activation. While initial analysis of the knockout...
