What are the first and second signals in activation of a T Cell?
Solution
Activation of T-cell:
There are two signals that will fully activate the T-cells. These are described as follows:
A first signal,
It is antigen-specific,
It includes the interaction between TCR ( T cell receptor)and peptide-MHC(major
histocompatibility complex) molecules on the membrane of antigen presenting cells (APC).
A second signal,
It is antigen nonspecific
It is provided by the interaction between co-stimulatory molecules expressed on the membrane
of APC (antigen presenting cells) and the T cell.
It is also known as the co-stimulatory signal because it stimulates those T-cell in conjunction
with antigens. let us see this a little more in detail: T - cell has CD -28 cells on it's surface. now,
these T-cells binds with the resting APC with the help of T-cell receptor. now, if it does not
recognise and binds with the antigen, it will remain non -responsive and will die. Whereas, If the
APC process the antigen and present it on it's surface then CD-28 cells will bind with this
antigen. note that here still from the other side it is already bound to the APC with the T-Cell
receptor. now, these two bindings together only would result in the activation of the T-cell. so,
therefore it is known as co-stimulatory signal.
