Abstract excerpt
CD4 is a coreceptor on T helper (Th) cells that interacts with MHC class II molecules (MHCII). The mechanisms mediating the effects of CD4 on responses by T helper cells to stimulation of the antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) are still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate T cell costimulation via CD4 signalling independent of T cell receptor-mediated signals. Incubation of T helper cells with peptide...
