The interaction of CD40 on B cells with the CD40 ligand (CD40L) on preactivated CD4 T cells is critical for the initiation of T-dependent Ab responses. It is believed that signals via CD40 synergize with cytokines (e.g., IL-4 and IL-5) to drive B cell activation. However, primary T cells preactivated via CD3 alone cannot induce B cell proliferation; we have shown previously that costimulation of T cells via CD3 and CD28 stabilizes the expression of the CD40L, which we propose contributes to their capacity to act as competent helper-effector cells. Here we show that an additional, critical reason why CD3-stimulated CD40L-bearing T cells are incompetent helper cells is because they secrete insufficient IL-2. In contrast, CD28/CD3-activated T cells induce B cells to become IL-2 responsive via a combination of CD40L and IL-2-mediated signals, and these two stimuli subsequently drive B cell proliferation and IgM secretion. We therefore propose that T cells must first encounter Ag in conjunction with CD80/86 on APCs. This leads to the stable expression of CD40L and maximal secretion of IL-2, which together render primary T cells competent to activate B cells in an IL-2-dependent fashion.
