Expression Dynamics of the O-Glycosylated Proteins Recognized by Amaranthus leucocarpus Lectin in T Lymphocytes and Its Relationship With Moesin as an Alternative Mechanism of Cell Activation

T lymphocyte activation begins with antigen/MHC recognition by the TCR/CD3 complex followed by a costimulatory signal provided by CD28. The search for novel costimulatory molecules has been extensive due to their potential use as immunotherapeutic targets. Although some molecules have been identifie...
