AbstractThe basis of the adjuvant effect of IL‐1 on the clonal expansion of Ag‐specific CD4 T cells was measured in vivo using the TCR transgenic T cell adoptive transfer method. Injection ofAg plus IL‐1 caused naive CD4 T cells to proliferate to a greater extent than did injection of Ag alone. The T cells had to express CD28 to experience the beneficial effect of IL‐1 whereas the hosthad to express the type I IL‐1R, raising the possibility that IL‐1's adjuvant properties were related to induction of CD28 ligands on APC. Surprisingly, however, expression of CD28 ligands on DC and B cells was not affected by IL‐1. Therefore, the adjuvant properties of IL‐1 depend on a basal level of CD28 signaling but cannot be explained by enhanced CD28 signaling due to CD28 ligand induction.
