Mechanism of co-stimulation in T cells
1 Antigen IL-2 IL-2R IL-2 IL-2R Resting T cells Signal 1 NFAT binds to the promoter of of the a chain gene of the IL-2 receptor. The a chain converts the IL-2R to a high affinity form Express a low affinity IL-2 receptor- and chains and produce no IL-2

Mechanism of co-stimulation in T cells
2 Costimulation 1 Antigen Signal 2 Activates AP-1 and NFk-B to increase IL-2 gene transcription by 3 fold Stabilises and thus increases the half-life of IL-2 mRNA by fold IL-2 production increased by 100 fold overall IL-2 IL-2R Immunosuppressive drugs illustrate the importance of IL-2 in immune responses Cyclosporin & FK506 inhibit IL-2 by disrupting TcR signalling Rapamycin inhibits IL-2R signalling

1 Anergy Antigen Naïve T cell Signal 1 only
IL-2 IL-2R 1 Antigen Signal 1 only Epithelial cell The T cell is unable to produce IL-2 and therefore is unable to proliferate or be clonally selected. Unlike immunosupressive drugs that inhibit ALL specificities of T cell, Signal 1 in the absence of signal 2 causes T cell unresponsiveness to a specific antigen Self peptide epitopes presented by a non-classical APC e.g. an epithelial cell
15
CO-STIMULATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR PRIMING OF NAIVE T LYMPHOCYTES
The antigen-specific and the co-stimulatory signals have to be induced in concert to induce T lymphocyte activation The antigen-specific and co-stimulatory signals can be delivered simultaneously by professional antigen presenting cells, only The antigen-specific and the co-stimulatory singnals has to be delivered by the same professional antigen presenting cell

Cytokine storm in a phase 1 trial of the anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody TGN1412.
Suntharalingam G, Panoskaltsis N. N Engl J Med Sep 7;355(10): Six healthy young male volunteers at a contract research organization were enrolled in the first phase 1 clinical trial of TGN1412, a novel superagonist anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody that directly stimulates T cells. Within 90 minutes after receiving a single intravenous dose of the drug, all six volunteers had a systemic inflammatory response characterized by a rapid induction of proinflammatory cytokines and accompanied by headache, myalgias, nausea, diarrhea, erythema, vasodilatation, and hypotension. Within 12 to 16 hours after infusion, they became critically ill, with pulmonary infiltrates and lung injury, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Severe and unexpected depletion of lymphocytes and monocytes occurred within 24 hours after infusion. All six patients were transferred to the care of the authors at an intensive care unit at a public hospital, where they received intensive cardiopulmonary support (including dialysis), high-dose methylprednisolone, and an anti-interleukin-2 receptor antagonist antibody. Prolonged cardiovascular shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome developed in two patients, who required intensive organ support for 8 and 16 days. Despite evidence of the multiple cytokine-release syndrome, all six patients survived. Documentation of the clinical course occurring over the 30 days after infusion offers insight into the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in the absence of contaminating pathogens, endotoxin, or underlying disease.

Modulation of the CD28 co-stimulatory pathway.
„Extreme response The drug, an antibody called TGN1412, is being developed by German company TeGenero with the aim of directing the immune system to fight cancer cells, or calm joints inflamed by rheumatoid arthritis. The antibody binds to a receptor molecule called CD28 on the surface of the immune system's infection-fighting T cells. (Nature March ) Scientists who work in the field say there are several possible ways that the drug could have triggered multiple organ failure. It may have stimulated T cells so much that they released an overwhelming flood of inflammatory molecules called cytokines. Or perhaps wayward T cells launched an attack on the body's own tissues, ignoring the safety mechanisms that normally keep this in check.
