Understanding the Mechanisms of Sustained Signaling and T Cell Activation

A Dynamic View of T Cell Behavior . For many years it has been known that T lymphocytes engage APCs in a long-lasting interaction that results in the generation of a rapid and sustained signal in T cells. Lasting almost 1 h, this sustained signal is required by T cells to maintain the transcription
