Which molecule provides a key costimulatory signal for T-cell activation?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: CD28 binding to B7
T-cell activation requires costimulation, commonly through CD28 on T cells binding to B7 molecules on antigen-presenting cells. Without this signal, T cells may become anergic.
