Figure 3. Redefining Signal 2.

Figure 3

Signal 1 refers to antigen recognition through the TCR and is characterized by the transcription of many genes. The outcome of this recognition is dictated by the net sum of environmental signals (Signal 2). We propose that mTOR acts to integrate all of these signals which in turn direct the outcome of T cell differentiation and activation.
