Various co-stimulatory and adhesive interactions between DCs and T cells are able to drive proliferative proinflam-matory cytokine and cytotoxic effector functions of T cells 1 . The effector response made to antigen presented by DCs depends on the co-stimulatory signals delivered to T cells along with the antigen signal presented in the context of MHC molecules 2 . Lafferty s concept of a second or co-stimulatory signal stands as a key model for our understanding of the generation of immunity and also for our understanding of the basis for peripheral tolerance 3 . In recent years through the study of interactions taking place at the immunological synapse at which T cells are signaled by antigen-bearing APCs several groups have studied the minimal requirements of CD4 and CD8 T cells for these effector functions. Mescher et al. for example have done so using a simple system of beads conjugated with MHC and antigen - whose density can be varied - signal 1 and various membrane co-stimula-tory molecules signal 2 such as CD80 86 or CD54 ICAM-1 . In this context they have shown for CD8 T cells that signals 1 and 2 are sufficient for proliferation and cytokine production but that a third signal IL-12 is required for cytotoxic effector function 4 . The authors indicate that IL-12 is not the only soluble factor which .
