The Yins of T Cell Activation

Jun O. Liu*

Gloss: The potentially destructive power of the immune response necessitates tight regulation of T cell activation, and this STKE review, with three figures, no tables, and 56 references, concerns negative regulators of T cell signaling. These negative regulators can be divided into two groups: Class 1 regulators help maintain the quiescent state of unstimulated T cells, whereas class 2 regulators are themselves transcriptionally induced in response to T cell signaling and serve to limit and terminate the activating signal.
