Given the importance of responding to infections with the right defensive strategy, much
interest has focused on cytokine differentiation in CD4+ T cells. However, relatively little is
known of the logistics of T-cell help for B cells. Here, Lucy Walker and colleagues propose
key roles for CD28 and OX40 in coordinating the selection, expansion and migration of
CD4+ T cells to B-cell follicles.
