EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS OF HELPER T-LYMPHOCYTES

Dendritic cells use several pathways to process and present protein antigens

Co-stimulatory signals are required for the activation of naive T cells but not for the activation of effector T cells

Arming of effector T cells

APC T

Activation of NAÏVE T cells by Ag-mediated and co-stimulatory signals is not sufficient

to trigger effector function, but…..

IL-2 EffectorT cell

Clonal selection and differentiation

How can this cell give help to or kill cells that express low

levels of B7 family costimulators?

the T cell will be activated to proliferate and differentiate under the control of

autocrine IL-2 to an effector T cell.These T cells are ARMED.

The effector programmeof the T cell is activatedwithout costimulation

This contrasts the situation with naïve T

cells, which are anergised without
