| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Proper T cell activation requires at least two signals. SIgnal1: binding of MHC complex on APC and T cell receptor on T cells. Signal2: Co-stimuratory signals via APC to T cells. Lack of co-stimuratory signals results in inadequate T cell activation, leading to anergy of T cells. It is not clear how ICOS signal, one of the co-stimuratory signals, is involved in the development and exacerbation of dermatitis. We investigated the role of ICOS signal in Th1-, Th2-, Th17-type dermatitis.
