The role of B7/CD28 signals in Ag-induced cell cycle progression
of CD4+ T cells was examined using the technique of CFSE
dye dilution and flow cytometry. In wild-type T cells, proliferation
was directly related to the concentration of Ag available to the APC.
Consistent with this, the rate of G0
G1 cell
cycle progression varied with the concentration of Ag. However, cell
division by T cell blasts occurred at a constant rate, independent of
Ag concentration. G0
G1 phase progression by
CD28-deficient CD4+ T cells or wild-type T cells cultured
in the presence of neutralizing anti-B7 mAbs was slowed, confirming
that a synergy does exist between TCR and CD28 signaling in the initial
activation of the T cells. However, unlike the TCR, the strength
of CD28 stimulation was also shown to play a unique role in controlling
the rate of cell division by T cell blasts.
