Function of the Antigen Receptor in T Cell Activation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 234))

Abstract

The T lymphocyte plays a central role in both regulatory and effector aspects of the immune response to foreign antigens. In its regulatory role, represented for example by the T helper cell, the T lymphocyte is involved in complex interactions with antigen presenting cells, B cells, and other T cells. Communication in these interactions rely on both cell-to-cell contacts as well as the release of soluble growth and differentiation factors (lymphokines and monokines). In its effector role, represented by the cytotoxic T cell, direct engagement of infected cells results in destruction of the target.
