The document discusses T cell activation and the role of calcium signaling. Upon antigen presentation by a cell through peptide-MHC complexes and co-receptors, T cells activate several signaling pathways that increase intracellular calcium levels. The rise in calcium activates calcineurin which dephosphorylates NFAT, allowing it to enter the nucleus and induce IL-2 transcription along with other transcription factors like AP-1 and NF-κB.
