What happens to T cells in the absence of the second activation signal?
What happens to T cells in the absence of the second activation signal?
- They release cytokines
- They proliferate and mount an immune response

Study Notes
T Cell Activation
- T cells require two signals for complete activation.
- Signal 1 involves the T cell receptor (TCR) recognizing a specific antigen presented by an MHC molecule on an antigen-presenting cell (APC).
- CD4 or CD8 coreceptors also play a role in signal 1, enhancing TCR binding.
- Signal 2 is mediated by the interaction between CD28 on the T cell and CD80 or CD86 on the APC.
- Absence of signal 2 leads to T cell apoptosis or anergy, preventing autoimmunity.
