Costimulation reverses the defect in IL-2 but not effector cytokine production by T cells with impaired IkappaBalpha degradation.

Abstract excerpt

Although the transcriptional basis for states of unresponsiveness in primary T cells is unclear, tolerant B lymphocytes exhibit inhibition of both c-Jun N-terminal kinase induction and IkappaBalpha (inhibitor of NF-kappaBalpha) degradation, leading to lower levels of both nuclear AP-1 and NF-kappaB. Expression of an IkappaBalpha mutant resistant to signal-induced degradation in transgenic T cells caused markedly...
