Restoration of CD28 Expression in CD28− CD8 + Memory Effector T Cells Reconstitutes Antigen-induced IL-2 Production [PDF]
The control of many persistent viral infections by Ag-specific cytolytic CD8+ T cells requires a concurrent virus-specific CD4+ Th cell response. This reflects in part a requirement of activated effector CD8+ T cells for paracrine IL-2 production as a growth and survival factor.

Antigen-specific recognition is critical for the function of regulatory CD8+CD28− T cells [PDF]
The immunomodulatory properties of CD8 T cells with regulatory phenotype have become evident. It remains unclear whether the immunomodulatory function of CD8(+)CD28(-) T cells requires antigen-specific TCR interaction with major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I). We have isolated naïve CD8(+)CD28(-) T suppressor cells (Tsup) from H2-Kk Des-TCR

Summary: Th17 cells drive autoimmune disease but also control commensal microbes. A common link among antigens from self-proteins or commensal microbiota is relatively low activation of T cell receptor (TCR) and costimulation signaling.

Arming Cytokine-induced Killer Cells With Chimeric Antigen Receptors: CD28 Outperforms Combined CD28–OX40 “Super-stimulation” [PDF]
Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells raised interest for use in cellular antitumor therapy due to their capability to recognize and destroy autologous tumor cells in a HLA-independent fashion. The antitumor attack of CIK cells, predominantly consisting of terminally differentiated CD8(+)CD56(+) cells, can be improved by redirecting by a chimeric antigen

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is generated by fusing a cancer-specific antibody’s antigen recognition site with costimulatory molecules such as CD28 and CD3ζ. T cells transduced with CAR recognizes cancer-specific antigens and kill cancer cells.

Regulation of immune responses is critical for ensuring pathogen clearance and for preventing reaction against self-antigens. Failure or breakdown of immunological tolerance results in autoimmunity.

Antigen recognition by autoreactive CD4⁺ thymocytes drives homeostasis of the thymic medulla. [PDF]
The thymic medulla is dedicated for purging the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of self-reactive specificities. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play a pivotal role in this process because they express numerous peripheral tissue-restricted self-
