Digital NFATc2 activation per cell transforms graded T cell receptor activation into an all-or-none IL-2 expression.
The expression of interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a key event in T helper (Th) lymphocyte activation, controlling both, the expansion and differentiation of effector Th cells as well as the activation of regulatory T cells. We demonstrate that the strength of TCR stimulation is translated into the frequency...
