Journal ArticleDOI

Peptide-major histocompatibility complex class II complexes with mixed agonist/antagonist properties provide evidence for ligand-related differences in T cell receptor-dependent intracellular signaling.

TL;DR: The analysis of the response of a T helper type 1 clone to mutant E alpha E beta k molecules in the absence or presence of a peptide antigen revealed that peptide inhibited the interleukin 2 response to an otherwise allostimulatory mutant form of this MHC class II molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD8+ T Cell-Dependent Elimination of Dendritic Cells In Vivo Limits the Induction of Antitumor Immunity

TL;DR: It is shown that CTL-mediated clearance of Ag-loaded DC has a notable effect on immune responses in vivo and may serve as a negative feedback mechanism to limit the activity of DC within the lymph node.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential T cell function and fate in lymph node and nonlymphoid tissues.

TL;DR: Activated T cells can undergo clonal expansion in the lymph node, but are recruited and retained as nondividing cells in nonlymphoid tissues, revealing simple key mechanisms for both inducing and limiting T cell immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of B7 costimulation in T-cell immunity

TL;DR: The present review outlines the current understanding of the physiological role of B7 costimulatory signals in regulating CD4+ T cell responses and identifies two major signalling pathways responsible for delivery.
