Abstract
Accessory molecules expressed on T cells can mediate adhesion between T cells and other cells, or the extracellular matrix. The same T-cell accessory molecules participate in a dialogue with their ligands (counter-receptors) on the antigen-presenting cells, and elicit signals that determine the specifics of activation and subsequent differentiation of the T cells and antigen-presenting cells.
